With the position of First Lady on her resumeâ, it was only a matter of time before Jill Biden snagged a new job.
And that is just what sheâs done, Fox News reported.
âFrom endometriosis to healthy aging, the White House Initiative on Womenâs Health Research made important investments in research and development, while making clear it will take collaboration across industries to bring these innovations to scale,â Biden said, according to a press release from Milken Institute. âI am honored to join the Milken Institute as we unite leaders around a shared mission: for women everywhere to benefit from the lifesaving, world-changing research we know is possible.â
Biden will be the chairwoman of the think tankâs new Womenâs Health Network.
Biden holds a doctorate in education and focused on the Biden Cancer Moonshot plan to end cancer, the Joining Forces initiative to support veteran families and caregivers, and launching the White House Initiative on Womenâs Health Research when she was First Lady.
In her new role, Biden will focus on âgalvanizing participation, collaboration, and shared action in the Womenâs Health Network to improve womenâs health and wellbeing,â according to the think tankâs press release.
Former President Joe Biden launched the White House Initiative on Womenâs Health Research, which Jill Biden led.
At that time, the Biden White House said, âTOO MANY medical studies have focused on men and left women outâ and too many of âthe medicine dosages, treatments, medical school text books, are based on men and their bodies â and that information doesnât always apply to women.â
âSo one of the things we did was we got to work right away,â Jill Biden said during a Milken Institute conference Monday. âJoe said, âYou know, letâs infuse â really, the federal government with money.â In one year, we put in $1 billion to advance womenâs research.â
âAnd we worked a lot through the (National Institutes of Health) and the way that they did research, and we made sure that they disaggregated the data and that they separated the research on women and men differently, and we worked with (the Department of Defense) DOD â they put a lot of money into womenâs research â and then we put a lot of money in to de-risk the investment,â she said. âSo there were a lot of things that, really, private equity wasnât willing to take on because it was too risky, and we thought, letâs push this forward, and letâs try to find answers more quickly.â
