Elizabeth N Pavlisko
Assistant Professor of Pathology

Dr. Pavlisko joined the faculty in 2011 as an Assistant Professor of Pathology at Duke University Medical Center where her work is focused in thoracic, cardiovascular and transplant pathology as well as postmortem examination.

She is the co-author of the chapter Mesothelioma in the 3^rd edition of Pathology of Asbestos-Associated Diseases, the chapter Lung Cancer in the new text titled Occupational Cancer (both of which were published in 2014), and the chapter Diseases of Serosal Surfaces in the 5th edition of Silverberg's Principles and Practice of Surgical Pathology and Cytopathology.

She holds an undergraduate degree in Biochemistry from Clemson University and received her Doctor of Medicine from the Medical University of South Carolina. She served as chief resident in her final year of pathology residency at Duke University Medical Center. She is board certified in both Anatomic and Clinical Pathology and trained as a pulmonary pathology fellow under the mentorship of Drs. Victor L. Roggli and Thomas A. Sporn.
