Cornell University

We are improving health for women at every stage of life.

To give women the best that science and medicine have to offer, we must close persistent gaps in research about women’s bodies and women’s health.

At Cornell, we do purpose-driven research to improve health outcomes for women at every stage of life.

With state-of-the-art research facilities and unparalleled expertise – including doctors, scientists, and policy experts at our Weill Cornell Medicine, Ithaca and Cornell Tech campuses – Cornell is advancing research and innovation to change the way we deliver care to women.

When we work for women’s health, we work for all of us.
