Lauren Ha is an Accredited Exercise Physiologist and a Post-Doctoral Research Fellow in the Discipline of Paediatrics, School of Clinical Medicine, UNSW Medicine & Health. She is supported by The Kids' Cancer Project to investigate the efficacy of her novel distance-delivered health education program for childhood cancer survivors, including those who are culturally and linguistically diverse, and those living in rural or remote regions. 

Lauren’s research interests surround exercise oncology, health behaviours and public health. Her PhD aims to harness novel technologies to promote and educate survivors about health behaviours, and to bridge the gap of access to healthcare for families living in rural or remote areas. 

 

Broad Research Areas:
Physical Activity, Childhood Cancer, Exercise Oncology, Health Behaviours.

Qualifications:
