Her research primarily focuses on psychological adaptation among young cancer patients and survivors, exploring the mechanisms behind psychopathology and resilience in this demographic. She aims to answer critical questions regarding the development of psychological distress such as depression, anxiety, and PTSD among survivors, particularly how illness and social environments affect personal characteristics. Through her work in Psycho-Social Oncology, Kosir collaborates with European cancer organizations to advocate for improved access to care, including fertility and psycho-social services, especially for non-WEIRD populations. Before her position at Oxford, she earned a Bachelor of Science in Psychology from Yale University, where her research centered on mental health, including autism and the exploration of depression symptom clusters. During her time at Yale, she worked as a research assistant in a psychosis lab, where she contributed to a clinical trial assessing Naltrexone for preventing weight gain in patients with psychotic disorders.
