The mission of this conference grant is to deepen research efforts relating to the science of MCCs and women’s health, with the potential to greatly improve the health and healthcare of the growing population of older people. A major goal of this conference series is to define gaps and opportunities and to prioritize key questions for future research. We aim to assemble a diverse group of thought leaders and rising stars who bring unique perspectives and insights to the topic at hand.
