Brigham and Women's Hospital is the home site for a Harvard-wide
NIH funded Building Interdisciplinary Research Careers in
Women's Health (BIRCWH) award, entitled "Hormones and
Genes in Women's Health: From Bench to Bedside". This
K12 training grant will support scholars involved in investigating
the role of hormones and genes in understanding sex differences
in vulnerabilities to clinical disorders and those disorders
specific to women. Socio-environmental factors modulating
the impact of hormones and genes in understanding these sex-specific
vulnerabilities may also be investigated. Scholars will be
sponsored for up to five years of mentored research from Harvard
faculty in basic, translational, or clinical aspects of women's
health, and will combine, if applicable, clinical work in
the Scholar's specialty.
Co-Principal Investigators: Kenneth L. Baughman, MD and William
G. Dec, MD.
