For 20 years, WCHRI has been filling critical gaps in women’s and children’s health research — powered by partnership and collaboration.

As we mark this milestone, executive director Sandra Davidge reflects on why this work matters now more than ever.

Today we share the research published by our PhD student @Taninshf at the Journal of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences! Nicely done, Tanin!

In this study, Tanin studied the cardiac hypertrophy in a murine model of Barth syndrome.

@BioSciAmanda showed that the imbalance in placental angiogenic factors in pregnancies with excessive hypercholesterolemia can be restored by low-dose aspirin.

The research conducted by Dr. Amanda de Oliveira (@BioSciAmanda) was highlighted in the In Review/ Research Updates in this month's issue of the The Physiologist Magazine! Congrats, Amanda!
