In this episode, we are joined by Dr Mira Mousa, Dr Nilüfer Rahmioğlu and Ulrik Bak Kirk. With Mira, we explore studying endometriosis and reproductive health amongst Arab women in the Middle East. With Nilüfer we discuss the genetic risk factors for endometriosis, and learn more about the COHERE project; one which aims to understand endometriosis amongst women in Northern Cyprus. Finally, Ulrik tells us about the FEMaLe project; one that aims to use machine learning to better understand, diagnose and treat endometriosis.
