Our Project "An AI Model of the Maternal Brain" is Awarded $1M Funding by the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative

We have been awarded $1M funding from the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative (CZI) to develop an AI model of the maternal brain, offering unprecedented insights into how the brain changes during pregnancy and motherhood.

Nina Miolane Hosts with the Ann S. Bowers Women's Brain Health Initiative in New York

Our Principal Investigator, Nina Miolane, recently gave an engaging talk in New York City, hosted by the Ann S. Bowers Women's Brain Health Initiative and The Lower Eastside Girls Club. As a Co-Director of the WBHI AI Core, Dr. Miolane shared her insights on the AI digital twin of the maternal brain, contributing to the event's mission of advancing the study of women's brain health through deeply collaborative science.

Nina Miolane Delivers Keynote Speech at CZI Imaging the Future

We are proud to share that Nina Miolane, PI of the Geometric Intelligence Lab, delivered a keynote speech at this year's CZI Imagine the Future event. Her presentation focused on critical issues of data disparity and the underrepresentation of women-specific health factors in published imaging research.

"Less than 0.5% percent of brain imaging articles published over the last 25 years consider health factors specific to women."
