The Women's Global Health Institute (WGHI) will hold its 2021 Women's Health Symposium on December 8. This hybrid symposium features a keynote speaker of Dr. Pauline Maki (University of Illinois at Chicago) on women's mental health across the life course, and four outstanding researchers at Purdue working on sex-dependent behavioral and substance use; breast cancer metastasis; safe swallowing; and community-based approach on cervical cancer screening and care. 

Following the symposium talks, a poster session promotes collaborations and welcomes research on 

• disease prevention; 
• early detection; 
• women's health; 
• sex and gender differences; 
• technology and tools looking for applications in women's health
