Megan Marron MS, PhD

Dr. Marron is an epidemiologist in the field of aging, physical disability, and frailty with a focus on understanding the metabolic etiologies of aging and aging-related disorders. In addition to epidemiology, she has expertise in biostatistics and the biology of aging. Her research involves coupling -omics technologies with epidemiologic and biostatistics methods to identify novel determinants of healthy aging, free from disease and physical disability among population-based cohorts of older adults. She is also interested in investigating racial differences in aging-related health outcomes to determine modifiable factors that explain health disparities and can be targeted to promote health equity with aging. Dr. Marron also teaches Fundamentals of Epidemiological Methods (EPIDEM 2180) and strives to teach in a manner that is understandable to individuals of all knowledge levels, such that every student leaves with a firm understanding of the material.
