Monash advances women's health research

Pioneering research at Monash is enhancing women's health, focusing on menopause and related conditions through several key initiatives:

  • Professor Susan Davis leads the Women's Health Research Program focusing on menopause and testosterone treatment, including the Australian Women’s Midlife Years (AMY) Study surveying over 8000 women to inform healthcare and policy.
  • A systematic review of menopause guidelines by Professor Susan Davis from the School of Public Health and Preventive Medicine, published in BMJ Sexual & Reproductive Health, provides clarity on menopause treatment options.
  • The Norman Beischer Medical Research Foundation awarded grants to the School of Clinical Sciences at Monash Health for projects on women's and children's health, including preterm birth and necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC).
