About Me
Phaedra grew up just outside of Boston Massachusetts and completed her undergraduate studies in biochemistry and molecular biology at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst. In the McMahon lab, she is interested in investigating how KRAS mutant lung cancer cells upregulate autophagy after targeted therapy and if we can use small molecule inhibitors that target both KRAS and autophagy signaling to regress tumor growth. Outside of science, she loves to hike, swim and watch live music.
