For the first time ever, we recorded A Coffee with CompBio in front of a live audience. Pop in your earbuds and take a front-row seat at our 2026 Fall Fundraiser at Eli Lilly for our panel, “The Data, Tech, and Opportunities Driving a New Era of Women’s Health.”

On the table: how federal policy shaped the gender data gap, the scientific and funding hurdles of building therapies for women’s biology, the data infrastructure the field still needs, and what consumer health research can unlock.
