Vikki Ho
Vikki Ho’s holds a Postdoctoral Fellowship in Environmental Epidemiology from the Centre de recherche du CHUM (CRCHUM) in Montréal and a PhD in Epidemiology from Queen’s University in Kingston, Ontario.
Her research focusses on the role of environmental and lifestyle factors in cancer etiology and prognosis. Specifically, she studies exposures common in the environment through dietary, lifestyle or occupational sources (e.g. heterocyclic aromatic amines (HAAs), polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), pesticides, gasoline engine exhaust and talc) that can be modified to prevent the onset of cancer. As well, her current research involves examining the possible role of lifestyle and behavioral factors such as vitamin D exposures and engagement in physical activity in both cancer prevention and improving patient prognosis after a cancer diagnosis. Cancer sites of interest include the colorectum, lung, ovary and brain.
