Biocair is calling for greater investment in women in STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics). The company believes these male-dominated sectors could benefit hugely from greater diversity.

AMSBIO has expanded its range of products and services dedicated to assisting scientists diversify their preclinical models effectively to help bridge the gender discrepancy gap in many areas of research.
Until 1993, most clinical trial participants were men of European descent, leading to a lack of data on the safety and efficacy of treatments for women and diverse populations. Although attitudes in clinical trials are changing, inclusivity in preclinical research is still often overlooked, leading to critical gaps in our understanding of how drugs and treatments affect different populations…

With female founded start-ups still struggling to access funding and a lack of women investors, there remains much to do to create an equitable environment for women in business. The femtech industry is a clear example of this gender bias, with male femtech founders consistently raising more capital despite over 70% of…
