معرفی
Paul Megee, Ph.D., is an Associate Professor in the Department of Foundational Medical Studies at Oakland University William Beaumont School of Medicine (OUWB), where he has been teaching human genetics and molecular biology to medical students since September 2016. Prior to joining OUWB, he served as an Associate Professor in the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Genetics at the University of Colorado School of Medicine, where he was also the director of the biochemistry and molecular genetics graduate program.
His research focuses on the molecular mechanisms underlying high-fidelity chromosome transmission during mitosis and meiosis, particularly sister chromatid cohesion and its role in human cohesinopathies. His expertise spans chromatin structure, chromosome morphogenesis, segregation, and cell cycle regulation. He has contributed to medical and graduate education through teaching and service on curriculum committees.
Dr. Megee led a biomedical research laboratory and held affiliations with the interdepartmental molecular biology program and the cancer cell biology program at the University of Colorado’s comprehensive cancer center. His interdisciplinary work bridges fundamental molecular processes with clinical implications in genetic disorders.
