Megan Thielges

Megan Thielges is an Associate Professor at Indiana University Bloomington's Department of Chemistry, where she has been a faculty member since 2012. Her research combines infrared spectroscopy with chemical and biological techniques to study protein dynamics and molecular recognition.

• B.S. (summa cum laude) from Arizona State University (2003)
• Ph.D. in Biophysics at The Scripps Research Institute under Floyd E. Romesberg (2009)
• NIH-funded postdoctoral fellowship at Stanford University with Michael D. Fayer

Her lab (Thielges Group) specializes in site-selective protein labeling and multidimensional infrared spectroscopy to investigate residue-specific structural dynamics, their functional contributions, and evolutionary roles. Key focus areas include electron transfer proteins, cytochrome P450s, and Src homology 3 domains.
