معرفی
Dr. April Kartikasari is a Postdoctoral Research Fellow in Immunology at RMIT University's Research & Innovation Capability department. Her work focuses on understanding the immunological and oncological mechanisms underlying cancer progression, particularly in ovarian cancer. She is actively involved in identifying novel diagnostic biomarkers and therapeutic strategies targeting inflammatory pathways such as interleukin-6 and TNFR2. Dr. Kartikasari collaborates with institutions like the Hudson Institute of Medical Research to advance early detection and personalized treatment approaches for ovarian cancer.
Her research spans over two decades, with contributions to iron homeostasis, endoderm differentiation, and the role of regulatory T cells in carcinogenesis. She is open to supervising Masters and PhD students and has published extensively in high-impact journals like Cancers and Frontiers in Immunology. Her work emphasizes translational research, aiming to bridge laboratory findings with clinical applications in cancer diagnostics and therapy.
Key research themes include cytokine modulation in tumor microenvironments, biomarker identification through meta-analyses, and improving therapeutic efficacy of PARP inhibitors via immune system modulation. Her interdisciplinary approach integrates immunology, genetics, and bioinformatics to address challenges in ovarian cancer management.
