Dr Vicki Dunk ~ Lecturer, Biomedicine

Vicki completed her PhD investigating the use of self-regulated learning strategies by nursing and allied health students studying bioscience. She hopes to develop teaching strategies that can enable students to develop SRL skills that will help them succeed in the life long learning associated with health programs.

Vicki is currently researching cerebellar morphological links to ASD and ADHD using MRI data in collaboration with researchers from Monash University, Qld Institute of Medical Research and Donders Institute for Brain, Cognition and Behaviour.
