[UK] PhD Studentship in Hormone Replacement Therapy at University of Surrey in UK - Postgraduate
PhD Studentship The use of hormone replacement therapy (HRT) and associated risks Postgraduate Medical School, Department of Pharmacoepidemiology
Applications are invited from suitably qualified graduates (2:1 or above) for a full-time PhD studentship to work on the efficacy and safety of hormone replacement therapy (HRT). HRT has been used widely for the relief of menopausal symptoms and the prevention and treatment of post-menopausal osteoporosis. Publication and interpretation of results from the Women`s Health Initiative (WHI) and the Million Women Study (MWS), however, has created uncertainty about the safety of HRT amongst both clinicians and patients. The successful applicant will use data from the General Practice Research Database in an epidemiological study to describe the use of HRT, its efficacy and associated risks. There will be a particular focus on how the use of HRT affects the risk of acute myocardial infarction and breast cancer.
