The Ludeman Family Center for Women’s Health Research works to improve lives around the world by:
Established in 2004, the Ludeman Center is part of the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus, the largest academic health center in the Rocky Mountain region. The campus includes the University of Colorado health professional schools, additional centers and institutes and two nationally ranked teaching hospitals that treat 1.9 million patients each year.
Until the early 1990s, health research conducted on women focused primarily on diseases affecting fertility and reproduction. Most other diseases were not studied in women until 1993 with the NIH Revitalization Act. This gap in health research has limited preventions, treatments, and cures for diseases in women compared to men. With increased understanding that medical conditions may affect women and men differently, the Ludeman Family Center for Women’s Health Research is working hard to speed progress and transform women’s health.
The Ludeman Family Center for Women’s Health Research has 72 MD and PhD scientists who study women’s health and sex differences across the lifespan. The Ludeman Center also has a Scientific Council comprised of prominent, internationally known scientists who are experts in the field of women’s health and sex differences to guide its scientific agenda.
