Supervised by Prof Geoff Delaney and A/Prof Lois Holloway

Medicine & Health

School of Clinical Medicine

Dr. Vikneswary (Vicky) Batumalai is a Principal Research Scientist based at GenesisCare Australia. With over 15 years of experience in the field of radiation oncology research, Dr. Batumalai has become a respected authority in both academia and clinical practice.

Her extensive contributions to the field are evidenced by her portfolio of over 45 scientific publications. Driven by a passion to improve patient outcome, she has cultivated a particular expertise in the areas of MR-guided radiotherapy, variation in radiotherapy fractionation, and health economics.

Dr. Batumalai's work in MR-guided radiotherapy has been instrumental in pushing the boundaries of precision medicine, utilising cutting-edge imaging technology to enhance treatment accuracy and patient safety. Additionally, her research on variation in radiotherapy fractionation has shed light on optimising treatment protocols to improve patient outcome.
