Megan joined Forest Research in July 2022 to work on the BAC-STOP project as a Molecular Biologist/Plant Pathologist. The project aims to save threatened oak and protect them for future generations by investigating the microbial and vector biology as well as the community impact of Acute Oak Decline (AOD). Megan’s research involves the use of both traditional bacterial culturing methods and molecular methods to investigate the UK native buprestid beetle Agrilus biguttatus’ interactions with AOD associated bacteria.

Megan was previously based at the University of the West of England, where she completed her MRes in Applied Sciences and PhD in Molecular Plant Pathology. She is currently the Membership Secretary for the British Society for Plant Pathology.
