Department/Directorate Information

The Clinical Epidemiology Team at The ICR uses real world data to investigate the late-effects of cancer treatments and cancer risks from other medications. The program of research is based around the ongoing Generations Study, a national study of over 100,000 women from the UK established in 2003 to investigate the causes of breast cancer and outcomes after a breast cancer diagnosis.  Women in the study have provided blood samples and detailed questionnaire information at recruitment, and in repeat follow-up questionnaires.  We also access their medical records to collect information on cancer screening and treatments.  

We encourage all applicants to access the job pack attached for more detailed information regarding this role. You may contact Professor Amy Berrington for further information by emailing [email protected]
