Project Details
Our research team aims to improve the quality of life for all people living with endometriosis and associated Persistent Pelvic Pain (PPP) through research-driven improvements to diagnosis and treatment.
Our nine coordinated projects focus on 3 major themes:
1. Better diagnosis of initial and recurrent endometriosis
2. Improved patient outcomes for endometriosis associated pain
3. Development of an evidence-based pathway to treat endometriosis-related infertility.
The 3 themes contain a powerful mixture of clinical trials and lab-based research that will lead to improved outcomes in conjunction with a better understanding of factors that lead to the development and progression of endometriosis.
