Because our brains and mental health deserve precision medicine for the greater good
The Women’s Brain Foundation (WBF) is an international non-profit organization based in Switzerland harnessing the brilliance of a global team of scientists. We are experts from various disciplines who work with patients towards the implementation of sex and gender within precision medicine, from basic science to novel technologies. We conduct, coordinate, support, and advance research related to sex and gender differences with the aim of advancing precision medicine. We act as an incubator and accelerator of innovation of women’s health. We focus our research and advocacy especially on diseases of the brain, but not exclusively.
"From patients'
differences to patients'
characteristics, to achieve precision medicine and render healthcare systems sustainable."

We bring Swiss precision to medical treatment and care to ensure sustainability in healthcare.
Men and women are different when it comes to disease risks – frequency, severity, symptomatology, diagnostic journey and even response to treatments. Our mission is to conduct, coordinate, support, and advance research related to sex and gender differences with the aim of advancing precision medicine. To act as an incubator and accelerator of innovation of women’s health. To focus our research and advocacy especially on diseases of the brain, but not exclusively.
Through these four pillars, we are making the change a reality:
