Dr. Chelsea Ash serves as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Pediatrics at Dalhousie University's Faculty of Medicine, where she specializes in Pediatric Hematology-Oncology. Clinically based at the IWK Health Centre in Halifax, Nova Scotia, she delivers specialized care for children with cancer and blood disorders while advancing research in precision oncology and survivorship.
Her distinguished education includes:
- BSc (Hons) and MD from Memorial University of Newfoundland
- MSc in Precision Cancer Medicine from the University of Oxford
- General Pediatrics Residency at McGill University

- Pediatric Cancer Survivorship Fellowship at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center
Dr. Ash's research program centers on transforming pediatric cancer care through genetic insights and personalized treatment strategies. Her work spans Cancer Survivorship (addressing long-term health outcomes), Precision Cancer Medicine (tailoring therapies to genetic profiles), Oncogenetics (studying hereditary cancer syndromes), Cancer Predisposition (identifying at-risk populations), and Oncofertility (preserving reproductive potential during treatment). This integrated approach aims to improve both survival rates and quality of life for childhood cancer patients.
Professionally active in major oncology networks, Dr. Ash contributes to the American Society of Pediatric Hematology-Oncology (ASPHO), Children's Oncology Group (COG), International Society of Paediatric Oncology (SIOP), and the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada (RCPSC).
