Dr. Caroline E. Nottingham is a board-certified Clinical Chemist in the Department of Laboratory Medicine at the NIH Clinical Center.
BS, UNC Wilmington
PhD, University of Virginia
Dr. Nottingham received her PhD from the University of Virginia, where her research focused on the development of novel mass spectrometry-based assays for detection of protein and lipid kinase activity. She then completed her Clinical Chemistry Fellowship training at the Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis. She is board-certified in Clinical Chemistry through the American Board of Clinical Chemistry.
In 2021, she joined the Chemistry Faculty in the Department of Laboratory Medicine at the NIH Clinical Center. She currently oversees the Mass Spectrometry, Urinalysis and STAT Laboratory sections in the DLM Chemistry Service.
