Driv has appointed a new Scientific Leader
Professor Anette Bøe Wolff has been appointed Scientific Leader of Driv - Centre for Women’s Health Research

As Scientific Leader at Driv, Wolff will be responsible for leading and coordinating the centre’s academic development, fostering collaboration between the various partners and disciplines, and thereby ensuring interdisciplinary cooperation.
In addition, she will contribute to maintaining high research quality, disseminate results nationally and internationally, and report to governing bodies. An important task will be to build partnerships with academia and the healthcare sector to advance women’s health research and help achieve the centre’s strategic goals, says Nina Torkildsen, Administrative Leader of Driv.
Looking forward to highlighting diversity
Wolff is keen to emphasise that women’s health encompasses far more than health issues related to the female reproductive organs.
“Women often experience diseases differently from men, which means gender-specific perspectives are needed in both diagnosis and treatment. This can involve everything from differences in symptoms to variations in treatment side effects,” the professor explains.
Wolff herself conducts research on autoimmune diseases and works with translational research. As Scientific Director at Driv, she is particularly focused on building a “bridge” between different academic disciplines.
“I look forward to getting to know the diversity of the field better, and I also hope to identify new areas that may require further research,” she says.
