Jovana Pavisic, MD, MA

Assistant Attending
Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center
New York, New York, United States

Dr. Pavisic is a pediatric oncologist on the sarcoma service in the Department of Pediatrics at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center. She obtained her medical degree at Yale University and then completed residency training at Stanford and hematology/oncology training at Columbia University where she also pursued a NLM-funded post-doctoral fellowship and Masters program in Biomedical Informatics. She has expertise in bioinformatics, machine learning, and computational genomics, and seeks to apply 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 regulatory network analysis of transcriptomic data for identification of tumor dependencies, biomarker development, and elucidation of drug mechanism of action to guide therapy selection across high-risk pediatric cancers (sarcoma, glioma, AML). 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 these techniques, she seeks to define tumor heterogeneity and cell-state specific therapies to advance targeted combination therapy approaches 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.
