Critical Review and Recommendations for Cancer Mortality Data from an Occupational Cohort
Scipinion is currently seeking epidemiologists, biostatisticians, and exposure-response modelers for a Science Advisory Panel to critically review select studies and to provide guidance on exposure-response modeling for causation analysis, confounding exposures (e.g., smoking), and estimating cancer potency from an occupational cohort (e.g., inhalation unit risk value under a USEPA framework)
Welcome to this SciPi.
If you are able to participate in the survey or view the results, those options will appear above.
