✨ Welcome to our Australian Women Innovator Series ✨ Meet Dharmica Mistry (PhD, GAICD) – a trailblazing scientist revolutionising breast cancer detection! 🎗️🔬 As the Co-Founder and Chief Scientist at BCAL Diagnostics, Dr. Mistry has pioneered a groundbreaking method to detect breast cancer through a simple blood test. This innovation is set to transform lives, making early detection more accessible and less invasive 💉💪 With a BSc(Hons) in Microbiology from Sydney University and a PhD from Macquarie University, Dr. Mistry’s dedication and brilliance have paved the way for a new era in medical diagnostics. She’s an inventor on one of BCAL’s foundational patents and led the company’s scientific operations with unwavering passion and expertise 🧬✨ Women and non-binary folks have always been at the forefront of innovation and change, yet their contributions often go unrecognised. It’s time to change that narrative. We need to ask why the gender pay gap persists and what we can do to ensure equal recognition and opportunities for all 💭🌏 Dr. Mistry's work not only saves lives but also challenges the status quo, proving that when women and gender-diverse people step into their power, they can change the world 🚀🌟 Let’s amplify this movement. Let’s celebrate, support, and fuel the incredible achievements of women and non-binary innovators. Together, we can be the change we seek 💖🌍 #ShebacksMe #WomenInScience #DrDharmicaMistry #BreastCancerAwareness #Innovation #WomenEmpowerment #GenderEquality #SupportWomen #WomenInSTEM #BreakTheBias (Source: 8 Amazing Australian Female Inventors You Need to Know About this #IWD - https://lnkd.in/eZ2dF76v)

Did you hear that Dan Jing Wu, CEO & Co-Founder VivArt-X, is one of the 5️⃣0️⃣ Global Rising Stars in ESG of 2024? ⭐ Congratulations on this much-deserved recognition! "What a remarkable week! Received the amazing news of being selected as one of the 50 global Rising Stars in ESG 2024 by the Women of the Future Programme! It’s truly an honor, and to top it off, being mentioned in the Financial Times UK is a bucket-list moment," says Dan Jing Wu after the list announcement. ESG stands for Environmental, Social and Governance. In the words of the program, "ESG is a wide-ranging and fast-moving field. It provides a framework for assessing how a company is performing against its commitments to shape a better world."

In Dan Jing Wu's profile, she was asked about the defining moment that inspired her to pursue an ESG related career? Here's what she said: "It was my childhood dream to help and heal people when they became sick, inspired by witnessing a family member struggle with illness. After completing my PhD in biomedical engineering, I aimed to bring innovative techniques to patients. That is how VivArt-X came to life." VivArt-X develops personalized, regenerative materials for women's health. Its revolutionary synthetic, degradable biomaterial will revolutionize breast reconstructive surgery in women who have undergone breast tissue removal after breast cancer diagnosis, offering personalized breast reconstruction and regeneration.
