As world leaders in women’s health, Magee is uniquely positioned to introduce a new approach on the global stage. As researchers, as physicians – and as mothers and daughters, fathers and sons – we at Magee are dedicated to transformative science in women’s health research for the good of all humankind.
The moment of greatest plasticity in life occurs in the first 9 months before birth, and can define a person’s life for the next 90 years. Our “9-90″ research focuses on human life in these first 9 months so we can predict and change the course of illnesses that can occur over a lifetime. By better understanding the “human blueprint,” we can alter the trajectory of a person’s life by predicting and even changing the course of a multitude of conditions.
Collectively with our colleagues in women’s health across the globe, our work will accelerate the pace of discovery and establish new benchmarks in every aspect of medical care all over the world.
Magee is at the forefront of groundbreaking research that analyzes diseases that occur during the 9 months of pregnancy and how they may impact the next 90+ years of health and wellness for both the mother and infant.
Magee investigators understand that improving women’s health is a global issue and its research initiatives span both non-communicable diseases and infectious diseases. It has established dozens of ongoing research collaborations with scientists and organizations in both the developed and developing world.
