Margaret Nelson, PhD

Jun 13, 2025, 13:54
Dr. Nelson earned her Ph.D. in Pharmacology and Toxicology from East Carolina University in 2019, in the lab of Dr. Ethan Anderson. Her doctoral research focused on the oxidative byproducts of monoamine oxidase and their impact on mitochondrial bioenergetics in cardiomyocytes derived from patients with Type II Diabetes. Following her Ph.D., she completed a postdoctoral fellowship in the lab of Dr. Kelsey Fisher-Wellman, where she investigated mitochondrial phenotypes in acute myeloid leukemia. She is currently a postdoctoral fellow in the joint lab of Drs. Wise-Draper and ElGamal, where her work centers on enhancing natural killer (NK) cell activity in head and neck cancer, with a particular focus on the CXCL1/CXCR2 signaling pathway.
