From a basic science perspective, Meghan is interested in understanding the underlying mechanisms of metastatic spread to the spine with a focus on molecular mechanisms and signaling pathways involved in metastases of hormonally responsive cancers including breast and prostate. Specifically, Meghan is interested in the interaction of the extracellular matrix and tumor microenvironment with hormonal processing within these cells. Clinically, her research focuses on the experiences of patients with metastatic disease to the spine.
