Megan Finch-Edmondson is a Senior Research Fellow at the Cerebral Palsy Alliance Research Institute and an Adjunct Senior Lecturer at the Sydney Medical School, Children's Hospital at Westmead, within the Faculty of Medicine and Health at the University of Sydney. She works on Gadigal country and is committed to advancing research in cerebral palsy and neurodevelopmental disabilities.
Research Interests: Megan specializes in stem cell biology, regenerative medicine, and clinical trials for cerebral palsy prevention and treatment. Her work bridges molecular cell signaling with pediatric neurology, focusing on cellular therapies and community engagement in research.
Publications and Trends: Her recent studies (2025–2021) emphasize mesenchymal stromal cell therapies for cerebral palsy, neuroprotective pharmacology, and ethical considerations in disability research. Themes include Gross Motor Outcomes, Stem Cell Efficacy, and Null Trial Reporting in infant neurodevelopmental studies.
Grants: Megan contributed to the 2020 NHMRC Collaborative Research Grant on stem cell regeneration for preterm brain injury. She actively promotes Indigenous-led research and disability-inclusive science.
