Endometriosis & Pelvic Pain Expo - Canberra

In 2025, the ACT will host its first Endo and Pelvic Pain Expo in over 25 years. The need for this expo was identified by noticing a lack of events targeting pelvic health for women and those assigned female at birth, and there is still too much incorrect messaging coming from those within the medical field, as well as within the general community to enable people to properly and safely take care of their health and wellbeing.

The Sunday Mail Transurban Bridge to Brisbane 2024 | Team QENDO x IMB

QENDO and UQ’s Institute for Molecular Bioscience have joined forces to support UQ endometriosis research in the 2024 Bridge to Brisbane  

 

On 8 Sep 2024, QENDO members, UQ researchers, donors, supporters and endometriosis advocates will be walking, jogging and running in the Bridge to Brisbane to raise funds for UQ’s endometriosis research.  This important endometriosis research is focused on:

 

1.      Reducing diagnostic delays

2.      Helping doctors understand the clinical implications of patient experiences, and

3.      Developing targeted treatments for the many patients whose lives are impacted by this painful and debilitating disease including:

 

o    Exploring the use of PET scans to assist in endometriosis diagnosis and / or provide a guide for surgeons for more effective surgeries and

o    Growing organoids from endometrial cells to enable individualised drug screening. In the future, this may allow clinicians to know which therapy will be most effective for each patient’s specific type of endometriosis - saving time, reducing patient costs and ultimately improving patient outcomes.

 

Please support your favourite walker, jogger or runner here to help this life-changing research: The Sunday Mail Transurban Bridge to Brisbane 2024 | Team QENDO x IMB (gofundraise.com.au)
