About
Dragana Fabris is a leading researcher in analytical biochemistry and cancer glycomics, with a primary focus on the molecular characterization of gangliosides—sialic acid-containing glycosphingolipids that play critical roles in cell signaling and tumor progression. Her most notable contribution is the development of an advanced, fully automated chip-nanoelectrospray mass spectrometry approach for the high-sensitivity analysis of ganglioside expression and structure. Applied to brain metastasis of lung adenocarcinoma, this work (cited 48 times) provided unprecedented detail on how ganglioside profiles shift during neoplastic transformation, offering new molecular targets for understanding and potentially treating metastatic brain cancer. Fabris’s methodological innovations have significantly advanced the field of lipidomics, enabling researchers to probe complex glycosphingolipid alterations with greater precision and throughput. Her research bridges analytical chemistry and oncology, making her a key figure in the effort to translate glycan-based biomarkers into clinical diagnostics. For students and researchers, her work exemplifies how cutting-edge mass spectrometry can unravel the molecular underpinnings of aggressive cancers, opening doors to novel therapeutic strategies.
