Meet the Team

Megan earned her B.S. in Biology from The Pennsylvania State University where she started her research career as an undergraduate studying cytoskeletal proteins in Drosophila melanogaster. She earned her Ph.D. in Molecular Cell Biology from Washington University in St. Louis under the direction of Dr. Jason Mills. Her thesis work focused on the mechanisms of cell plasticity, repair, and metaplasia in the stomach. She then moved to the University of Michigan to complete a postdoctoral fellowship in the laboratories of Dr. Costas Lyssiotis and Dr. Yatrik Shah. Megan’s postdoc work identified how NADPH and redox metabolism control precancer formation and progression in the pancreas. Megan joined the faculty at Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center in March 2026.
