On International Day of Action for Women’s Health, we are grateful for the researchers, advocates, and supporters who are working to ensure women are no longer left out of the science that shapes their care.

At Magee-Womens Research Institute, investigators like Dr. Sharon Hillier are advancing HIV prevention research that includes women at every stage of life, including pregnant women. Her work helps ensure women have safe, evidence‑based options and the ability to make informed choices about their health.

Your support makes this progress possible and helps build a future where women’s health is fully studied, understood, and prioritized.

Have you ever wondered what happens in labs behind the science?

Our Behind the Science Tours bring the community into Magee-Womens Research Insitute to see how Pittsburgh-area scientists and clinicians are shaping the future of women’s health. Attendees heard from Magee-Womens leadership, toured our laboratories, and connected directly with researchers leading transformative work.

Take a look at the moments that brought it all to life, and tag a friend who loves science in the comments.

Women's health doesn't exist in a vacuum -- and the research supporting it shouldn't either.

The BIRCWH program at Magee-Womens Research Institute and University of Pittsburgh equips early‑career faculty with training, mentorship, and protected research time to become independent investigators in interdisciplinary women’s health research.

Please join us in welcoming our newest BIRCWH Scholars: Dr. Emily P. Mihalko, Dr. Kendra L. Clark, Dr. Andrea Kozai! We look forward to supporting the next steps of your career in women's health.

HIV prevention options for women in Zambia are expanding with the availability of the dapivirine vaginal ring.

This long‑acting, discreet option gives women and girls more choice in how they protect their health, supporting autonomy, privacy, and care that fits into daily life.

This progress is rooted in decades of leadership from researchers like Dr. Sharon Hillier at Magee‑Womens Research Institute. Through her work with the Microbicide Trials Network, Dr. Hillier has helped bring women’s experiences to the center of HIV prevention research, including pregnant and breastfeeding mothers who face a higher risk of HIV but have often been left out of studies.

By prioritizing research that reflects real lives, this work continues to expand what is possible in prevention, access, and care.

ICYMI: Once a Pittsburgh kid, always a Pittsburgh kid.

During a conversation about football and NIL on The Pat McAfee Show, the moment turned personal as Pat reflected on his Pittsburgh roots and a shared hometown connection with fellow Magee baby Mark Cuban. Same city, similar beginnings, now crossing paths on one of the biggest stages in sports.
