Sara Alcon

Sara Alcon serves as Associate Professor of Biology and Department Chair of Natural Sciences at Oklahoma Christian University, where she has taught middle school through college students for over a decade across diverse educational settings.

She earned her Ph.D. in Biomedical Sciences from the University of New Mexico, with doctoral research investigating estrogen regulation in fibroblasts during breast cancer metastasis.

Her academic focus centers on cancer biology mechanisms, particularly breast cancer metastasis pathways involving fibroblast behavior and hormonal regulation. This research bridges cellular dynamics in tumor microenvironments with endocrine signaling systems, emphasizing translational biomedical applications.

Dr. Alcon actively mentors undergraduate researchers, notably through the Undergraduate Pipeline Network at UNM during her graduate training, and integrates scientific inquiry with faith-based pedagogy at Oklahoma Christian.
