Why Is Vicki Sara Influential?

(Suggest an Edit or Addition)

According to Wikipedia, Vicki Rubian Sara is an Australian endocrinologist, who specialises in research into growth hormones and foetal brain development. Sara was born in Sydney, and attended Sydney Girls High School. She attended the University of Sydney, graduating with a Bachelor of Arts with Honours and a PhD in 1974 for her thesis titled "The action of prenatal trophic hormones on brain growth and behaviour". She worked at the Garvan Institute of Medical Research from 1973 to 1976, then as a research fellow at the International Brain Research Organization . In 1980, she joined the Karolinska Institute in Stockholm, Sweden where she worked until 1993, when she returned to Australia to head the life sciences faculty at Queensland University of Technology. In 1996, she became Dean of Science at QUT.
