Macon Carroll

PhD student, Biomedical Sciences with a concentration in Pharmacology and Toxicology

BS, Clinical Laboratory Science

Macon Carroll is a current first year PhD student at Brody in the Biomedical Sciences Department with a concentration in Pharmacology and Toxicology. She graduated from East Carolina University’s College of Allied Health Sciences in May of 2022 with a bachelor’s degree in Clinical Laboratory Science.

In her time in undergrad at East Carolina, Macon completed clinical rotations at ECU Health in the lab departments of Chemistry, Microbiology, Hematology, and Immunohematology and Transfusion Services, as well as being trained in Phlebotomy. Additionally, Macon also worked for the ECU Women and Gender Office as a Program Assistant.

With passions for both natural and social science, she found herself drawn to the Pharmacology and Toxicology program, due to the direct impact toxicological findings have on government policies and vice versa. Macon is now nearing the end of her first official year and is currently rotating with Dr. DeWitt, whose laboratory focuses on the investigation of PFAS and forever chemicals. She is also nearing the end of her four years as an EC Scholar, through the ECU Honors College.

When not in class or lab, Macon enjoys spending time with friends, reading, and knitting or crocheting (or really any kind of DIY craft project).
