Research Center Takes Lead in Bringing Women Under the Microscope

The fact that men and women are not the same is no longer completely 
overlooked in the medical world. Diseases, such as heart attacks, can 
present differently. Yet, an absence of research that includes women prior 
to the early 1990s has left studies into women’s health largely in “catch-up” 
mode. Our guest is Judy Regensteiner, PhD, director and co-founder of the 
Ludeman Family Center for Women’s Health Research at the University of 
Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus. The center has become a national 
leader in conducting research across the span of women’s lives, especially 
in the areas of cardiovascular disease, diabetes and mental health.
