Sharon Pitteri
Professor (Research) of Radiology (Diagnostic Sciences Laboratory)
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsThe Pitteri laboratory is focused on the discovery and validation of proteins that can be used as molecular indicators of risk, diagnosis, progression, and recurrence of cancer. Proteomic technologies, predominantly mass spectrometry, are used to identify proteins in the blood that are differentially regulated and/or post-translationally modified with disease state. Using human plasma samples, tumor tissue, cancer cell lines, and genetically engineered mouse models, the origins of these proteins are being investigated. A major goal of this research is to define novel molecular signatures for breast and ovarian cancers, including particular sub-types of these diseases. This laboratory is also focused on the identification of proteins with expression restricted to the surface of cancer cells which can be used as novel targets for molecular imaging technologies.

Sarah Pittock
Associate Director for COLLEGE, Stanford Introductory Studies Operations
BioSarah Peterson Pittock PhD recently joined Stanford Introductory Studies as the Associate Director for COLLEGE to support teaching excellence in the first year requirement. Previously, she taught in Stanford’s Program in Writing and Rhetoric developing courses that intersect writing with ethics, education, and medicine. From 2013-2015, she served as Associate Director of the Hume Center, supporting a writing-enriched curriculum through tutor education, writing workshops, graduate writing and speaking programming, and writing pedagogy consultations. From 2017-2022, she also directed Bing Honors College, a September program that accelerates rising seniors' progress on their honors research and writing. Her work has been published in Women's Writing, the WAC Journal, Writing Center Journal, and edited collections.
