Merrina Anugraham

Dr. Merrina Anugraham is a Research Fellow at the Institute for Biomedicine and Glycomics, Griffith University, specializing in glycomics and glycoproteomics research with a focus on cancer biology. Her work bridges biomedical sciences and proteomics, particularly in ovarian cancer and glycan-based tumor signatures.

• Appointments: Griffith University (2024–present)
• Research Focus: Glycomics, cancer-associated glycosylation, and glycoprotein analysis

Research Trends: Her publications highlight glycosylation defects in cancer, including N-glycosylation patterns in tumors, glycolipid roles in ovarian cancer migration, and epigenetic influences on glycan structures. Methodologies emphasize mass spectrometry and structural characterization of glycans.

• Grants: Internal funding from Griffith University for Decoding the Effects of Vaccination against Neisseria gonorrhoeae using IgG glycocodes (2023–2024)
• Collaborations: Extensive co-authorship networks in glycomics, oncology, and proteomics
• Publications: 8 research outputs (2014–2019) focusing on glycan alterations in cancer, with high citation impact in tumor glycobiology
