Ladies Drive Podcast No. 32 with Dr.med. Antonella Santuccione Chadha: Why You Have To Know This!

15 January 2026

What happens when neuroscience, leadership and lived experience come together? In this powerful episode, I speak with Dr. med. Antonella Santuccione Chadha about why women’s brains have been overlooked in medicine for decades – and what it will take to close the gender health gap.

We talk about Alzheimer’s, depression, migraines, menopause, data, AI, and why investing in women’s brain health is one of the biggest untapped opportunities for science, society and the economy. A conversation about courage, responsibility and building a future where medicine finally works for everyone.

Antonella is a medical doctor, neuroscientist and Co-Founder & Executive Director of the Women’s Brain Project. She shares why brain and mental health conditions affect women differently, how bias in research and clinical trials still shapes healthcare today, and why sex- and gender-specific precision medicine is not a “nice to have” but an absolute necessity! Host: Sandra-Stella Triebl (Founder, CEO & Chief Editor Ladies Drive, Biologist and Media Scientist)

We are here to transform medicine and healthcare towards precision medicine. Right now, there is a critical need for your support. Donate today and help us continue to study Sex and Gender differences impacting brain and mental diseases.

Health begins with human beings, individuals – men and women are different when it comes to brain and mental disease frequency, severity, symptomatology, risk factors and even response to treatments. Thanks to the gifts from supporters like you the scientific community is starting to take note. We have shown the world that in diseases like Alzheimer’s for instance, disease progression is faster in women than men and women show different levels of biomarkers.

Our goal is to clearly identify such differences in diseases, diagnostic, and treatments, as well as novel technologies, and leverage them for better solutions. We ask for better clinical outcomes, better care, and innovative artificial intelligence (AI)-based solutions. Sex and gender differences are the first steps towards precision medicine, which acknowledges the specific needs of each patient. Our ultimate ambition is the realisation of the Research Institute for Sex and Gender Precision Medicine.
