Employee Spotlight: Nicole Hook Rattigan, Senior Medical Science Liaison (MSL)
10/08/20

What do you like most about this field?
That it's changing and evolving so rapidly. The status quo is never enough and I love being a part of a field that values constant innovation and improvement.
How has the field transformed since you started? Where is it going?
Five years ago, oncologists were rarely thinking of using ctDNA to track molecular residual disease (MRD). It's amazing to see Signatera now being used to better the way cancer patients are managed. I believe it's only going to grow in application and adoption and has significant opportunity to change the cancer management paradigm.
What are the three must-haves (e.g., coffee, notebook, sugar) on your desk during the week?
Post-it notes and gel pens (contrary to my school teachers' beliefs, doodling helps with focus!), cup(s) of tea, inevitably one of my cats.
What has surprised you most about working at Natera?
The opportunity to apply my genetic counseling background in new and innovative ways.
Outside of your work, what do you like to do for fun?
CrossFit, hiking, baking, kicking butt at various board games.
