Dr. Lisa Meier McShane

Associate Director, Division of Cancer Treatment and Diagnosis

Biosketch

Lisa Meier McShane, Ph.D., leads the Biometric Research Program, Division of Cancer Treatment and Diagnosis, U.S. National Cancer Institute, National Institutes of Health. She was formerly Chief of the Biostatistics Branch within the program and now has oversight and strategic planning responsibilities for both branches in the program, including additionally the Computational and Systems Biology Branch. She holds a doctoral degree in Statistics from Cornell University in Ithaca, NY and is an elected Fellow of the American Statistical Association. She is a recognized expert in development of tumor marker-based tests for prognosis, therapy selection, and disease monitoring.

Dr. McShane serves on the Scientific Advisory Board for Science Translational Medicine and the Editorial Board for BMC Medicine. She has served on American Society of Clinical Oncology committees that developed guidelines for HER2 and hormone receptor testing in breast cancer, EGFR mutation testing in lung cancer, and biomarkers in early stage breast cancer. She interacts frequently with FDA on biomarker-based initiatives and has served on FDA/CDRH Molecular and Clinical Genetics and Clinical Chemistry and Clinical Toxicology Panels. She has served as a member of Institute of Medicine Committee for Management of the Air Force Health Study Data and Specimens, the Consensus Committee on Management of the Air Force Health Study Data and Specimens-Report to Congress, and the Committee on the State of the Science in Ovarian Cancer Research.

Research Interests

Dr. McShane's research interests include biomarker-driven clinical trial design, statistical analysis of high-dimensional omics data, multiple comparisons methods, surrogate endpoint evaluation, measurement error models, biomarker assay analytical performance assessment, and evidence-based medicine approaches for the evaluation of clinical diagnostic tests. She co-led efforts to develop "Reporting guidelines for tumor marker prognostic studies (REMARK)" and "Criteria for the use of omics-based predictors in clinical trials". She has coauthored numerous statistical and biomedical papers in addition to the book Statistical Design and Analysis of DNA Microarray Investigations. She is a frequent invited speaker at national and international oncology and statistics meetings.
