Meghan is currently a computational biology research assistant at the Max Planck Institute for Molecular Genetics modeling high-risk viral mutations with respect to antigenic fitness (immune escape) taking into account insights learned from phylogenetics, biophysics, and epidemiology. Since 2022, she's been a part of the vibrant Engineered Matter Labs team at Genspace NYC working to understand the remarkable properties of spider silk and design proteins inspired by it. She also helps as a global teaching assistant for MIT Media Lab's synthetic biology course during spring semester, "How To Grow Almost Anything."
Before working in computational biology, she worked as a software developer at companies such as SoundCloud. Her educational background is in computer science and mathematics.
