Lactation Biologics: Increasing Milk Production for Healthier Babies
Lactation Biologics is developing a long-lasting, self-injectable treatment to help nursing mothers feed their babies naturally, helping them get the best nutrition possible in the face of climate disasters and supply chain disruptions. -
Human Ovarian Organoids to Improve Women’s Health
Gameto is using the Wyss Institute’s fully human ovarian organoid technology to solve the global problem of rising infertility by making IVF safer, cheaper, and more accessible. -
LactoRING for a Healthy Vaginal Microbiome
LactoRING is a novel slow-release vaginal ring designed to ensure continuous replenishment of Lactobacillus, promoting a healthy vaginal microbiome for a longer duration. The slow-release mechanism and targeted delivery to the vaginal environment will enhance the efficacy and convenience of treatment, thereby providing a comprehensive approach to vaginal dysbiosis management. -
Placental Accreta Spectrum Diagnostic
Placenta accreta spectrum (PAS) is a condition where the placenta attaches too deeply into the uterine wall, causing severe bleeding and complications for the mother. PAS occurs in 1 in 300 to 500 deliveries — a 10-fold increase in the past 50 years. However, more than 50% of cases are not detected before delivery. To... -
Fistula Repair: Minimally-Invasive Repair of Obstetric Fistula
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... -
TORCH: Discovering Ovarian Torsion Biomarkers through Proteomics
Ovarian torsion (OT) is a serious medical condition where an ovary twists around the tissue that supports it, which can cut off blood supply to the ovary and sometimes the fallopian tube, causing severe pain. If blood flow is not quickly restored, the ovary might need to be surgically removed. Current diagnostic methods are often...

Video/AnimationAtlantic Health Research Spotlight: Female-Reproductive-Tract Organ Chips for Women’s Health and Fertility StudiesInnovation has disrupted care as we know it. Challenges with access, complex diseases, and care delivery persist, but so do areas of opportunity for emerging tech and discoveries. The Atlantic explored gene editing, artificial intelligence, climate change, weight-loss and diabetes treatments, and more at their annual Health Summit. Wyss researchers Aakanksha Gulati, Ph.D., and Ola... -

Audio/PodcastReimagining Infertility – An Interview with Christian KrammeChristian Kramme imagines a world where all people can have a child on their own time frame. Such “reproductive autonomy” is not the case today – infertility is a growing problem worldwide, and existing treatments like IVF are incredibly taxing on women’s bodies and too expensive for most of the global population to access. Listen... -
