The Foundation for Gender Specific-Medicine

The mission of the Foundation for Gender Specific-Medicine is to use the study of gender to foster the development of new sciences and improve health care for all patients

The Foundation for Gender Specific-Medicine supports the investigation of the ways in which biological sex and gender affect normal human function and the experience of disease.  One of the discipline’s pioneers, Marianne J. Legato, FACP, MD established the Foundation as a continuation of her work with The Partnership for Gender-Specific Medicine at Columbia University.
