Vicky has a wide range of interests related to cancer research and also late effects of childhood cancer treatment. Her most recent research position was at The Hospital for Sick Children in Toronto, Canada as a postdoctoral fellow in the Tabori lab where she focused on several types of pediatric cancers and childhood cancer predisposition disorders. She is particularly interested in uncovering the biological mechanisms behind both short- and long-term treatment related side effects in children with cancer and long-term survivors.
