Assistant Professor
Columbia University Irving Medical Center
New York, New York, United States
Dr. Pavisic is an Assistant Professor and pediatric oncologist in the Division of Pediatric Hematology, Oncology, and Stem Cell Transplantation at Columbia University Irving Medical Center (CUIMC). She completed a NLM-funded Post-Doctoral Fellowship and Masters Program in Biomedical Informatics at Columbia University, and has expertise in bioinformatics, machine learning, and computational genomics. Her lab applies novel computational approaches to high-throughput genomic data in pediatric oncology to better understand tumor biology, identify new therapeutic targets, and transform the role for precision oncology in pediatrics. Specifically, she has focused on network-based inference of tumor dependencies, biomarker development, and elucidation of drug mechanism of action to guide therapy selection across high-risk pediatric cancers (osteosarcoma, AML, glioma). She has experience in bulk and single-cell RNA sequencing technologies and computational analyses, as well as experimental methods to pharmacologically (i.e. high-throughput drug screens, PLATE-seq) or genetically (i.e. CRISPR) target predicted tumor regulators with the ultimate goal of defining tumor heterogeneity and cell-state specific therapies for high-risk pediatric tumors. Her clinical expertise is in treating children with sarcoma, with a focus on using tumor biology and molecular characterization to drive treatment.
