Profile AI
Tanya Augustine is a South African health sciences researcher whose work spans cancer biology, molecular genetics, and proteomics, with a strong focus on breast and other solid tumors in African populations. Her scholarship integrates precision oncology, tumor heterogeneity, and microenvironmental dynamics, emphasizing evolution-informed therapeutic strategies and context-specific biomarkers.
Her publications highlight proteomic and genomic investigations in breast, gallbladder, pancreatic, and brain cancers, exploring complement signaling, secretomics, and genetic variants such as FGFR2. A consistent theme is the identification of dysregulated pathways and biomarkers relevant to patients of African ancestry, addressing gaps in global cancer research and advancing more inclusive molecular profiling.
In addition, Augustine contributes to research on neuroprotective phytochemicals, antiproliferative plant compounds, ethical body donation in anatomy, and research integrity. This interdisciplinary portfolio reflects strengths in translational science, mass spectrometry–based analysis, and bioethics, positioning her as a contributor to both laboratory innovation and responsible health sciences practice.
