What research in endometriosis is ongoing?

In this episode, we are joined by Dr Mira Mousa, Dr Nilüfer Rahmioğlu and Ulrik Bak Kirk. With Mira, we explore studying endometriosis and reproductive health amongst Arab women in the Middle East. With Nilüfer we discuss the genetic risk factors for endometriosis, and learn more about the COHERE project; one which aims to understand endometriosis amongst women in Northern Cyprus. Finally, Ulrik tells us about the FEMaLe project; one that aims to use machine learning to better understand, diagnose and treat endometriosis.

We would like to thank Dr Mira Mousa, Dr Nilüfer Rahmioğlu and Ulrik Bak Kirk for sharing their insights into the genetic, epidemiological and machine learning approaches to understanding endometriosis in different populations. Finally, thank you to Margarida Sardo for sharing with us her science communication expertise throughout the podcast.

While we routinely encourage the donation to charities which support people living with endometriosis, we ask that you consider ways to support Ukraine during this very difficult and frightening time. Defend Ukraine have put together a list of Ukrainian fundraisers, charities and donation links that you may wish to support.
