Becky Meyer is a Principal Lecturer in the Department of Biological Engineering at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Her research focuses on cell surface receptors and their role in forming complexes that create differential signaling networks. She investigates how receptor associations with transmembrane proteins and intracellular molecules enable cells to translate extracellular signals into a diverse range of long-term responses following the initial signaling cascade. Dr. Meyer is particularly interested in the associations of these receptors and their modifications related to aging and the progression of neurodegenerative diseases. In her teaching, she emphasizes the synthesis and communication of theoretical concepts while developing and refining essential laboratory skills. Dr. Meyer is passionate about sharing her enthusiasm for learning with her students, encouraging them to think creatively and effectively troubleshoot scientific problems.
