Aspro. Reubina Wadee

Reubina Wadee is a South African biomedical researcher whose work bridges molecular pathology, oncology, and infectious diseases. Affiliated with academic and clinical institutions in Johannesburg, her research integrates translational laboratory science with histopathological investigation, contributing to improved diagnostic and therapeutic strategies in resource-limited settings.

Her publications highlight expertise in viral oncology and epigenetics, including methylated DNA marker discovery for cervical cancer, epigenetic regulation in TB–HIV co-infection, and gene therapy approaches targeting hepatitis B virus. She has also contributed to studies on breast cancer therapeutics and genomic profiling of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma in African populations, strengthening molecular insights from underrepresented cohorts.

In addition, her collaborative clinical research addresses gynecological and urological pathology, with analyses of placental histopathology, peripartum hysterectomy, bladder cancer patterns, and HPV-associated endocervical adenocarcinoma. Across these themes, her work advances biomarker development, cancer risk stratification, and context-relevant translational research in Southern Africa.
