About
Sharon Pitteri serves as a Professor in the Department of Radiology at Stanford University's School of Medicine. Her teaching portfolio spans multiple academic years (2021-2026) with core courses including BIOS 227: Mass Spectrometry and Proteomics and TRAM 212B: Translational Proteomics and Genomics, alongside extensive supervision of 11 independent research programs across Radiology, Bioengineering, and Biological Sciences departments.
Her research focuses on proteomic and genomic methodologies, particularly mass spectrometry applications in translational medicine. She investigates molecular mechanisms within radiological contexts to bridge laboratory discoveries with clinical diagnostics and therapeutics, emphasizing "opening the black box" of complex biological systems through advanced proteomic analysis.
Professor Pitteri mentors students through diverse research pathways including Medical Scholars Research (RAD 370), Graduate Research (BMP 399/CBIO 399), and Undergraduate Research (RAD 199/BIO 199X) across all academic terms. Her advising spans clinical radiology experiences, bioengineering laboratories, and foundational biological research, fostering hands-on training in translational proteomics and genomics.
