Biography

Tujin Shi is a senior scientist in the Integrative Omics group of the Biological Sciences Division at PNNL, where he has worked since 2010. His research centers on the development and applications of mass spectrometry-based approaches to address current biological and biomedical need. He has broad research experiences from fundamental research to biological sciences. His current research involves the development of ultrasensitive targeted proteomics and convenient single-cell proteomics technologies and their applications for absolute quantification of signaling pathway dynamics, preclinical verification of disease biomarkers, spatial proteome mapping of mammalian tissues, and protein analysis of small subpopulations of tumor cells from liquid (tissue) biopsy. Shi is currently a senior member of multiple National Institutes of Health (NIH) research programs and principal investigator of two NIH-funded projects. He is author or co-author of more than 80 articles in peer-reviewed scientific journals and has served as a reviewer for more than 20 scientific journals. In addition to research, Shi is actively involved in training and mentoring postdoctoral researchers, junior staff, and interns.
