Anne Macpherson

Dr. Anne Macpherson is a Postdoctoral Fellow at the University of Adelaide's Adelaide Health and Medical Sciences, affiliated with the Women's and Children's Health department. Her research focuses on ovarian cancer mechanisms, immunotherapy, chemotherapy resistance, and reproductive health. She has conducted studies on cancer stem cells, molecular markers of disease progression, and ex vivo tissue models for therapeutic screening. Her work integrates transcriptomics, epigenetics, and cellular biology to address clinical challenges in oncology and reproductive medicine. Dr. Macpherson's contributions span over three decades, with publications from 1987 to 2024, highlighting her expertise in cancer biology, immunology, and developmental physiology. She has explored topics such as tumor immune interactions, hormonal influences on endometrial pathology, and the role of metabolic disorders in epigenetic alterations. Current research emphasizes translational applications for improving treatment efficacy in ovarian cancer and optimizing antenatal interventions for high-risk pregnancies. Her studies often utilize mouse models and human tissue explants to bridge basic science and clinical practice.
