There are differences in the number of diseases affecting the female and male brain” says pathologist and neuroscientist, Antonella Santuccione Chadha, CEO probono of the Women’s Brain Project. She shares medical facts about differences in numbers, symptoms and therapeutic approaches for brain disease affecting women or men and how neuroscience, drug developers and health professional should take them into account.

Dr Maria Teresa Ferretti, CSO of the Women’s Brain Project, shares in this talk her very personal experience with precision medicine, in the context of breast cancer. Motivated by her own experience, she advocates for the use of such an approach in neurology too, in particular Alzheimer’s disease. ‘If we managed (to achieve precision medicine) for breast cancer, why can’t we do it for neurology?’.

In this talk, featured on the TED main page, Dr Antonella Santuccione, CEO probono of the Women’s Brain Project  discusses the importance of sex and gender in medicine at large. ‘Medicine is embedded with sex differences, but it took a pandemic for us to realize’. The implications of a new paradigm might change medicine, towards a more precise and sustainable model.

In this talk Maria Teresa Ferretti, CSO of the Women’s Brain Project, uses longcovid as an example of a neuro-immune condition that affects overwhelmingly women. There are more examples, from multiple sclerosis to Alzheimer; in the past, many of these diseases have been dismissed and misdiagnosed in women. But things are changing. This is an occasion to discuss medical biases, but also new opportunities for medicine to learn from sex differences and find novel solutions, listening to the patients.

This “Frontiers in Drug Development” seminar series is part of a 2-year post diploma course in Pharmaceutical Medicine/Drug Development, organized by the European Center of Pharmaceutical Medicine (ECPM). The diploma course provides a holistic understanding of the drug development process from molecule to market as well as key concepts in regulatory science and marketing. Dr Maria Teresa Ferretti and Dr Frances Quevenco, from the Women’s Brain Project team, will be giving a lecture entitled ‘Sex differences in preclinical research and implications for early clinical development’. The talk will be open to the public.

AN ITINERANT BRAINFORUM DEDICATED TO RITA LEVI-MONTALCINI

9 Cities/ 9 Topics/ 40 Women Scientists 

Reversing the stereotype of women ruled by their emotions and incapable of rationality, the Emotions Itinerant BrainForum has invited brilliant scientists from the most prestigious international universities and institutions to analyse the emotions, considering all their biochemical, genetic, epigenetic, psychological and neurological aspects. And to discuss the fundamental role of women’s emotional expertise in inclusion, empathy, preservation, sustainability, for solving the challenges of the Third Millennium – from migration to global heating to exploitation of resources and the difficult ethical decisions arising form the new technologies.
