Education

edit

Paulovich received a BS in Biological Sciences from Carnegie Mellon University in 1988,[1] a PhD in Genetics from University of Washington in 1996, under the direction of Leland Hartwell.[2] She also received a MD from University of Washington in 1998.[3] Follow her residency in Internal Medicine at Massachusetts General Hospital, she also completed a Postdoctoral Fellowship in Computational Biology at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology Whitehead Center for Genomic Research in 2003, and a Fellowship in Medical Oncology at the Dana Farber Cancer Institute in 2004.[1][4]

Career

edit

Paulovich is a Professor in Clinical Research, an Aven Foundation Endowed Chair, and the Director of Early Detection Initiative at the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center.[5][6] She was inducted to the American Society for Clinical Inviestigation in 2012.[7]

Paulovich is an expert in proteomics.[8] Her targeted proteomics method uses multiple reaction monitoring mass spectrometry to target cancer biomarkers with ongoing clinical trials,[9] and was named Method of the Year in 2012 by Nature Methods.[10][11] She founded Precision Assays in 2016,[12] whose rights to targeted assays were acquired by CellCarta in 2022.[13][14]
