Dr Binh Nguyen

Binh is a Research Fellow at the Prevention Research Collaboration (PRC). Her research, mostly of an epidemiological nature, focuses on chronic disease prevention which targets lifestyle risk factors. She is passionate about pursuing research that improves population health, including contributing gender-specific evidence for cardiovascular disease prevention. In 2019, she was awarded a PhD in Public Health from the University of Sydney which examined cardiovascular risk factors in an Australian population of middle-aged and older adults, with a special focus on potential gender differences and behaviours specific to women.

Binh is a guest lecturer for the Physical Activity and Health topic, as part of a forum for first year undergraduate medical students.
