Sex and Gender Research at Drexel
Promotion of sex and gender research is at the core of our research mission at the Institute for Women’s Health and Leadership (IWHL). Our focus is to bring together researchers at Drexel University College of Medicine (DUCOM) and Drexel University who are leaders in the clinical, basic and social or behavioral sciences fields of research on or for women, and to serve as the networking hub for multidisciplinary researchers in the field.

We hope you find our website useful, and we welcome all suggestions for improvement.
