Evaluate Brain Disorders in Women via Aquaporin Activity
What if we could use non-invasive imaging to understand how biological sex affects the health of women's brains?
Glymphatic function is believed to play a key role in brain disorders which profoundly affect women’s health, yet glymphatic function is not currently assessed clinically. We propose validation and commercialization of a noninvasive MRI metric of glymphatic function that has the potential to revolutionize how the numerous neurological disorders which are more prevalent in women can be understood, assessed clinically, and approached therapeutically.
