Pediatrics CertifiedLauren Appell, MD

Dr. Lauren Appell is a pediatric hematologist/oncologist specializing in bone marrow transplant and cellular therapy within the Division of Pediatric Hematology/Oncology at Arkansas Children's Hospital. In this role, she has grown to understand and appreciate the gravity and breadth of the distinct challenges that childhood cancer survivors face. Dr. Appell has become specifically interested in metabolic and cardiovascular late effects, which are prominent among childhood cancer survivors of acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). Her long-term goal is to research preventative care practices to decrease the risk of metabolic and cardiovascular negative outcomes in these patients and, therefore, improve their long-term morbidity and quality of life. Specifically, Dr. Appell is investigating the feasibility of implementing a supervised outpatient strength and exercise regimen in children who have been newly diagnosed with ALL (STReNGth & Outpatient Exercise Regimen in ALL - STRONGER ALL).
