Lesley Stahl interviews with Teresa Woodruff and Melina R. Kibbe, MD to discuss the importance of sex and gender-based research. Topics include the importance of increasing the rate of scientific discovery, which impacts women’s health and well being.
Dr. Woodruff discusses the importance of newly-diagnosed cancer patients being informed of fertility options before undergoing treatments that could damage fertility.
The TedEx event explores how multidisciplinary teams work together to understand the complicated process of fertility and investigates questions such as:
Why is the mystery of life so complex?
Why do we need chemists, biologists, ethicists and engineers to unravel this mystery?
How do we facilitate relevant research that transcends the boundaries of established disciplines?
