Event Overview

Women’s health is entering a new era of scientific discovery and innovation, yet significant gaps in research, diagnosis, and treatment still remain. The ELRIG Women’s Health Forum brings together leading scientists and industry experts to explore cutting-edge advances in drug discovery across the full spectrum of women’s health—from reproductive biology and oncology to cardiovascular and metabolic disease. This dynamic event will highlight emerging technologies, novel therapeutic approaches, and the critical importance of inclusive research in driving better outcomes for women’.
