A New Way to Measure and Predict Human Immune Health

The immune system senses and responds to changes in physiologic health, and a new tool called the immune health metric (IHM) can measure and even predict some of these changes, an study has found. If doctors could use the IHM to detect health problems long before symptoms appear, they could potentially act early to prevent disease, the researchers suggest. Their findings are published in the journal Nature Medicine.

WomenLeaders India Fellowship 2024-25 by Reliance

Women's leadership in India is pivotal to drive social and economic progress. From grassroots to governance, women are catalysts for change. Embracing their leadership fosters inclusivity, equity, and sustainability, crucial for India's prosperity. India's G20 presidency marked a significant shift in the global conversation on gender equality placing a strong emphasis on "women-led development" rather than just "women's development", prioritizing areas like digital access and entrepreneurship to empower women as agents of global progress.

In line with this vision, the WomenLeaders India Fellowship powered by Reliance Foundation and Vital Voices invests in extraordinary social sector women leaders and social entrepreneurs to drive an ambitious, urgent agenda for women’s leadership in India. Launched in 2022, the Fellowship aims to empower women leaders in the social sector with the knowledge, skills, and network necessary to spearhead transformational changes in society. Through leadership development workshops, mentorship opportunities, and industry exposure, the programme helps social sector leaders and social entrepeneurs to refine their vision, build their capacity and accelerate their impact.

Over 10 months, the Fellowship aims to empower 50 exceptional women leaders from across India, each dedicated to driving transformative change within their communities. The cohort of social sector women leaders and social entrepreneurs will be selected on the basis of their groundbreaking work in one of the following areas: Climate Resilience (including Disaster Risk Reduction), Sports for Development, Education (by strengthening early childhood care and education or addressing foundational literacy and numeracy), or Livelihood Generation at the grassroots.
