Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Meagan B. Myers is a Research Biologist at the National Center for Toxicological Research. Her work focuses on genotoxicity assessment and the development of advanced sequencing technologies for evaluating DNA mutations. Myers has published research on error-corrected next-generation sequencing, exploring its potential and challenges for genotoxicity testing and cancer risk assessment. Her publications also address the measurement of cancer driver mutations in animal models, correlating these findings with spontaneous neoplasia incidence. Additionally, she has contributed to consensus recommendations for evaluating teratoma formation risk in cell therapy products and has investigated the use of mutation as a toxicological endpoint for risk assessment.

Myers' research employs techniques such as polymerase chain reaction and duplex sequencing for mutation quantification. Her scholarship metrics include an h-index of 19, with 47 total publications and 957 total citations. Key collaborators include Barbara L. Parsons, Robert H. Heflich, Page B. McKinzie, and Kelly L. Harris, all from the National Center for Toxicological Research, with whom she shares multiple publications.
