Women's Brain Project

The Women's Brain Project (WBP) is an international non-profit organization and research institute dedicated to understanding sex and gender differences in brain and mental health. Based in Switzerland, the organization advocates for precision medicine by identifying how biological sex and socio-cultural gender influence the risk, progression, and treatment of neurological and psychiatric disorders. WBP collaborates with academic institutions, pharmaceutical companies, and regulatory bodies to ensure that sex and gender are integrated into drug development and clinical trial design. Their work primarily focuses on conditions such as Alzheimer's disease, migraine, and depression, aiming to improve health outcomes for both women and men through tailored healthcare solutions. The organization provides strategic consulting and data analysis to help partners optimize their research pipelines for sex-specific efficacy and safety. Through its global advocacy, WBP has become a key influencer in shaping future regulatory requirements for sex-disaggregated data in the life sciences industry.
