Megan  completed her doctorate in Biochemistry at Florida State University in 2014. Her graduate work focused on developing gold nanoparticle delivery platforms for therapeutic applications in biology and medicine. The design of the nanoparticle delivery platform allowed the ability to obtain dynamic information about the transfection events through the use of live-cell optical confocal microscopy and other physical techniques such as energy transfer assays. She developed nanoparticle delivery platforms to examine uptake profiles in developed glioma lines as well as to improve neuronal survival and functional outcomes in traumatic brain injury using neurotrophic factors. Her work in the lab will focus on applying nanoparticle systems to brain cancer therapies.
