  Obstetric fistula is a devastating condition characterized by an abnormal connection between the female genital tract and the bladder or rectum. It affects more than two million women in Africa and Asia and leads to constant leakage of blood, urine, and stool, causing pain, infection, social ostracization, and physical isolation. Current treatment through reconstructive surgery...
• Personalized Contraception
  The burden of contraception falls predominantly on women, often causes unpleasant side effects, and can fail if not strictly adhered to. We envision a contraceptive approach that is immediate, non-surgical, reversible, and accessible to both women and men. We’re developing a platform that uses hydrogel “bioblocks” for minimally invasive contraceptive implants, which could allow for...
• EmuLAAte: Device-Based Stroke Prevention
  Prefabricated, “one-size-fits-all” medical implants fail to match individual anatomies and can result in tissue damage and impaired healing. To address this concern, we’re pioneering transcatheter technology to create custom implants directly inside patients, tailored to their unique anatomy, to provide safer and more effective treatments across various medical conditions. As a first application, we are...
• MenoStrengthRX: Strength Training in Menopausal Women
  Muscle loss is a major concern for women as they enter perimenopause, as it can cause an increased risk of diabetes, heart disease, and other health conditions. We’re developing wearable sensors and using machine learning to guide and track strength training at home. By offering personalized guidance without the high cost of personal trainers, the...
