My Mahoney,
Professor and Vice Chair
Dr. Mahoney is a Professor and Vice Chair of Equal Opportunity and Workforce Diversity in the Department of Dermatology and Cutaneous Biology at Thomas Jefferson University in Philadelphia, PA. She also has joint appointment in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology and is a member of the Sidney Kimmel Cancer Center. She received her PhD in Molecular and Cellular Biology from the University of Massachusetts at Amherst and post-doctoral training in Dermatology at the University of Pennsylvania. Dr. Mahoney is part of the leadership team for the Squamous Cell Carcinoma Tumor Ecology and Microenvironment (STEM) Research Group. The goal of her laboratory is to understand, at the molecular and cellular level, how normal signaling events during skin morphogenesis and development are subverted for pathogenic signaling during malignant transformation and disease progression. She focuses on the role of desmosomal cadherins in modulating membrane dynamics and extracellular vesicle release, critical for cell-cell and cell-microenvironment communications.
