Career Trajectory
Bio
I am Megan, and I solve puzzles. My interest in neuroscience, and specifically the mechanisms underlying neurodegeneration and Alzheimer's disease began during the first year of my tertiary education, when I realized my professors didn’t have all the answers. Indeed, so much of the brain is poorly understood (if at all). Upon the completion of my Bachelor of Science degree, I accepted a summer internship in a laboratory which investigated the molecular basis of Alzheimer’s disease. Through this internship, and the Bachelor of Science with Honors (first class) that followed, I worked closely with Dr. Joanna Williams and her team to gain confidence in both scientific technique and critical thinking. After gaining a doctoral scholarship, I focused on investigating the mechanisms through which a putative therapeutic for Alzheimer’s disease enhanced neuronal function. Throughout this project, I had the opportunity to form collaborations with a variety of research teams including the prestigious Schuman laboratory in Germany, for which I was awarded funding by the German government. The work conducted during my Ph.D. has been published in two papers in high profile journals, and a third detailing a technique I developed during my Ph.D. is currently in review. I had the opportunity to present my findings at both national and international conferences and meetings and was awarded funding to do so. It was at the Society for Neuroscience 2017 meeting that I met Dr. Eric Klann and his team, and mutual interests drew me to my current position at NYU. Here, I'm investigating the molecular changes which occur at the very start and very end of the Alzheimer's disease process. I hope that by helping to answer 'why does this happen?', we can begin to ask 'how can we help?'
