Dr. Cathcart grew up in Spokane, Washington. She graduated summa cum laude from Harvard College with a major in Chemistry before matriculating in the Harvard/MIT MD-PhD program. During her PhD training, she combined her chemistry background and interest in oncology to develop new peptide cancer therapeutics under the mentorship of Professor Loren Walensky. She discovered a love for women’s health in the Harvard-MIT Health Sciences and Technology medical school program and is thrilled to continue clinical training in OB/GYN and research in Gynecologic Oncology at OHSU. In her free time, Dr. Cathcart loves to spend time with her husband, son, and dog and enjoy the beautiful outdoors.
