Christina Signorelli is a Post-Doctoral Research Fellow with the Behavioural Sciences Unit, School of Women’s and Children’s Health at UNSW Sydney and the Sydney Children’s Hospital.
She completed her PhD (Medicine) at the University of New South Wales which focused on developing a model of care for the long-term follow-up of childhood cancer survivors and included data from the ANZCHOG Survivorship Study, involving one of the largest cohorts of Australian and New Zealand survivors in Australasia.

Christina is currently involved in numerous research projects which explore childhood cancer survivors’ health and wellbeing, specifically their outcomes in long-term survivorship. She is particularly interested in survivors’ health behaviours and engagement, as well as patient empowerment and self-advocacy.
She has received multiple awards for her research. Most recently, she was awarded the Multinational Association of Supportive Care in Cancer (MASCC) 2017 Young Investigator Award and she was named the Australian Federation of Graduate Women Barbara Hale Scholar for 2017.
