The bedrock for this development was the consistent support for biomedical research, and the nation has benefited from scientific discoveries that have been translated into treatments for previously untreatable conditions. Since our inception in 1998, Women’s Health Research at Yale (WHRY) has initiated and supported such research on health conditions that directly affect communities all over the country. In particular, we have focused on advancing our understanding of women’s health and on sex differences in health and disease that inform our understanding and treatment of disorders in women and men.

At the 2024 American Geriatrics Society meeting, a study led by Santiago Clocchiatti-Tuozzo, MD, a postdoctoral research fellow at Yale University in New Haven, Connecticut, tested the hypotheses that APOE4 would increase and APOE2 would decrease the risk of a composite endpoint.
