What we do

We put scientific evidence and expert voices at the centre.

We work with researchers, clinicians, founders and investors to translate complex research into public conversation.

01
Evidence

We start with peer-reviewed research and data.

02
Experts

We bring together the people reshaping the field.

03
Conversation

Mind the Gap brings their work to the surface.

The gap, in three numbers

01 — Evidence

25%

Women live longer, yet spend a quarter more of their lives in poor health.

1993

The year the US finally required women to be included in clinical research. Decades of medicine had been built without us.

$1tn

Closing the gap could add $1 trillion to the global economy each year by 2040. A market that remains systematically underfunded.

Policy

Turning evidence into the rules that protect women's health.
