Myers’ research spans mitochondrial transport, neurodevelopmental diseases, JNK signaling, and neuronal migration. Her work explores the molecular mechanisms underlying brain development and disorders, with a focus on mitochondrial dynamics and cortical interneuron integration.

Key publication trends include studies on genetic mutations in neurodevelopment (2020), mitochondrial transport in cortical interneurons (2014), and auditory system plasticity (2012). These works intersect fields such as neurogenetics, developmental biology, and pediatric neuromedicine.

Her affiliations and research have not been associated with explicit scientific awards. Myers advises students in psychology and neuroscience, though specific advisees are not listed. She completed a postdoctoral fellowship at Brigham and Women’s Hospital/Harvard Medical School, focusing on mitochondrial transport in embryonic brain development.
