Linda Griffith
School of Engineering Teaching Innovation Professor of Biological and Mechanical Engineering and MacVicar Fellow, MIT
Specializations:
Integration of Tissue Engineering and Systems Biology
Functional Biomaterials
Drug Development
Course idea:
A few studies have shown that women miss more work than men because they themselves are ill, not just because they are taking care of sick family members. I am very plugged in to the medical side and epidemiological side of gynecology disorders, as well as diseases that skew female (eg most autoimmune diseases, many chronic inflammatory diseases). I wish there were more intensity in the area of how the cumulative morbidity of health disorders impacts women's educational and professional development, and would very much like to partner with someone with expertise in the social/work side.
