At MIT, we are pioneering a new frontier dissecting the complexities of menstruation and its profound impact on systemic health, immunity, and chronic disease.
Our mission is to destigmatize, understand, and revolutionize. This is more than research; it’s a Moonshot to transform lives.
For too long, menstruation and its associated disorders have been dismissed, underfunded, and shrouded in stigma. Yet, conditions like endometriosis, adenomyosis, heavy menstrual bleeding, and PCOS affect nearly 200 million women worldwide, often starting in their teens, leading to debilitating pain, infertility, and a significantly diminished quality of life. This isn’t just a “women’s issue”; it’s a global health crisis with staggering economic and social costs.
