Megan Marie McEvoy

Megan Marie McEvoy is a Professor at the Department of Microbiology, Immunology & Molecular Genetics and the Institute for Society and Genetics at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA). Her research focuses on bacterial metal resistance, protein structure, and molecular mechanisms of metal ion transport.

• Research Interests: McEvoy's work explores biochemistry and molecular biology of metal resistance in microbial systems, including copper/silver efflux pumps, structural analysis of metal-binding proteins, and environmental toxicity implications.
• Publication Trends: Her 15 most recent articles (2012–2023) cover structural biology, biochemistry, and microbiology, with recurring subfields like metalloproteins, efflux pump dynamics, two-component systems, and metal homeostasis in pathogens.
• Grants: She has led NIH-funded projects, including R01GM079192 (2007–2019) on copper/silver resistance and R13ES019369 (2010) for the Biometals 2010 Conference. She also contributes to MARC U*STAR programs.
• Collaborations: McEvoy frequently collaborates with researchers like Patrick Allard and colleagues in molecular genetics and biometals research.
