Inspiring Women

International Women’s Day is a moment to celebrate the achievements of women across every field — science, medicine, entrepreneurship, and beyond. At MapmyGenome, we are inspired every day by the women who have shaped the science of genomics, and by the women who are using that science to take charge of their health and the health of their families.

Women in Genomics

From Rosalind Franklin, whose X-ray crystallography work was foundational to the discovery of the DNA double helix, to the thousands of women scientists, genetic counsellors, and researchers advancing personalised medicine today — women have always been at the heart of genomic science.

Women Taking Charge of Their Health

Women are often the primary health decision-makers in their families — for themselves, their children, and their parents. Genetic testing empowers women to understand their inherited risks for conditions like breast cancer, ovarian cancer, cardiovascular disease, and more — and to take proactive, informed action.
