Dr Nafisa Wilkinson's research encompasses the pathophysiology of both ovarian and endometrial cancers. More specifically, she is interested in the mechanisms involved in the transition from hyperplasia to carcinoma in endometrioid endometrial cancer and the development of novel strategies for therapeutic intervention, in particular for younger women of reproductive age. From a clinical perspective, her interests lie with the identification of novel diagnostic markers for endometrial hyperplasia subtyping and prognostic markers of carcinoma recurrence post surgery.
