Dr. Murphy is ProPath’s vice president of research and development and is board certified in molecular diagnostics. She brings robust and varied professional experience and an extensive list of peer-reviewed publications.

Dr. Murphy graduated with a Bachelor of Science degree in medical technology from George Mason University in Fairfax, Virginia. She completed a medical technology certificate from the University of Virginia Medical Center in Charlottesville. She earned a doctoral degree from the University of Louisville, Department of Microbiology and Immunology, in Kentucky. Supervised by Dr. Richard B. Lock, Ph.D., her dissertation was titled Function of Bcl-2 and Bax in the Regulation of Apoptosis. She completed a fellowship in molecular pathology at The Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine in Baltimore, Maryland.

Dr. Murphy has substantial professional experience, including teaching appointments and a collection of medical and laboratory directorships. She started as a medical technologist in the immunology laboratory at the University of Virginia in Charlottesville. She was a lecturer in the biotechnology graduate program at Johns Hopkins University. She’s held multiple teaching appointments in The Johns Hopkins School of Medicine. She was an instructor in the pathology department before becoming an assistant, then associate, professor in the pathology and oncology departments. Other teaching positions include a course in molecular diagnostics at the University of Texas Southwestern, molecular and immunologic diagnostics at Stevenson University in Baltimore, and cancer biology in the graduate program of biotechnology at Johns Hopkins University. Dr. Murphy has considerable leadership experience. She was the director of the Johns Hopkins University Molecular Diagnostics Lab before joining ProPath in Dallas, Texas, as the chief laboratory officer and director of clinical lab operations. She is currently the vice president of research and development at ProPath.

Dr. Murphy has a considerable collection of published manuscripts, books, and a roster of invited talks. She’s published peer-reviewed articles in a variety of prestigious journals, including the American Journal of Surgical Pathology, International Journal of Gynecology, Modern Pathology, and Human Pathology, among others. She also coauthored a book, Molecular Diagnostics in Dermatology: Practical Applications for Molecular Testing for the Diagnosis and Management of the Dermatology Patient.

Dr. Murphy belongs to multiple professional organizations.
