We are looking to expand our network of experts focused on innovative nutritional solutions for heart health in healthy aging women. We are specifically interested in researchers developing novel nutrients or formulations with proven or potential effectiveness in supporting heart health during the perimenopausal and menopausal stages. Our goal is to collaborate with leading universities and organizations within 1-2 years to test these solutions and bring them to broader use.
Topics of interest
- Novel nutritional ingredients targeting cardiovascular health
- Age-specific nutrient blends supporting heart health in women
- Impact of nutrients/dietary solutions on cardiovascular health during perimenopause & post menopause
- Nutritional genomics and its impact on heart health in aging women
Required qualifications
- Experience with cardiovascular health research with focus on perimenopausal and menopausal stages
- Experience with development of nutritional solutions for women's health
- Experience with pre-clinical models aimed at testing the efficacy of novel nutrients in cardiovascular disease prevention
Nice-to-haveWe're open to experts who have experience with:
- Clinical translation of research findings
- Clinical trials that validate efficacy claims of dietary solutions
- Development of nutritional solutions for general healthy aging
What's out of scope
- Researchers focused primarily on the development of pharmaceutical compounds
- Researchers focused on hereditary or congenital cardiovascular diseases rather than general heart health and common age-related cardiovascular conditions
