Meghan McGarry, MD, MAS, ATSF (she/her/hers)

Seattle Children's Hospital

Dr. Meghan McGarry is a Pediatric Pulmonologist and Associate Professor of Pediatrics at the University of Washington and Seattle Children’s Hospital. She has formal training in clinical pharmacology, epidemiology, and clinical research. One area of Dr. McGarry’s research is investigating health disparities in pulmonary disease severity in the Latino cystic fibrosis (CF) community. She has found that Latino children with CF have lower lung function and are at increased risk for pulmonary infections early in childhood. She is focused on determining what contributes to lung disease severity and why some children become sicker than others. Also, Dr. McGarry works to improve newborn screening for cystic fibrosis and diagnosis for all people with CF. She is the lead author of the new Cystic Fibrosis Foundation guideline for CF newborn screening. Dr. McGarry advocates for access to affordable CF therapies for all people with CF across the world. Dr. McGarry’s mission is to improve the health and quality of life for all children with cystic fibrosis through research, education, advocacy, and community engagement.
