Biography
Dr. Olumee-Shabon is a principal investigator working in the Division of Residue Chemistry (DRC), Office of Research. She received her BSci from George Mason University and her PhD from George Washington University in 1999. She was a post-doctoral fellow at NIH (2000–2004), where she conducted research to determine protein-protein interactions using chemical cross-linking and mass spectrometry. Prior to joining FDA, she worked at the Children’s National Medical Center, where she coordinated the proteomics core facility. In 2010, Dr. Olumee-Shabon joined FDA as a Commissioner’s Fellow studying biomarkers of disease in food-producing animals. In her current position at DRC, Dr. Olumee-Shabon is involved in method development and validation for veterinary drug residues in animal-derived foods and animal feeds, using liquid chromatography and mass spectrometry, in support of veterinary drug approval and surveillance processes.
