Biography
Clinical interests in breast cancer, neuro-oncology, and palliative radiation therapy.
Nina completed her Bachelor of Medicine and Surgery at the University of Western Australia (UWA) with honours in 2008 and began her medical career at Fremantle Hospital, followed by community programs in the Kimberley and in palliative radiation therapy. She commenced specialist training in radiation oncology at Prince of Wales Hospital (NSW) in 2014.
This was followed by a clinical research fellowship in breast and central nervous system (CNS) tumours at Fiona Stanley Hospital, where Nina helped develop a treatment protocol to examine radiation therapy planning CT scans as a way to help estimate a patient's risk of potential future coronary artery disease.
Nina has been an examiner of medical students at UWA and UNSW and continues to lecture current radiation oncology trainees. She is also a member of the RANZCR palliative radiation therapy working group and is a board certified lifestyle medicine practitioner.
