Michael F. Egan is affiliated with MSD in the United States and has contributed to the field of Medicine, with a particular focus on subfields such as Physiology, Psychiatry and Mental Health, Cognitive Neuroscience, Economics and Econometrics, and Statistics and Probability.

Their research covers a range of topics including Alzheimer's disease research and treatments, dementia and cognitive impairment research, functional brain connectivity studies, health systems, economic evaluations, quality of life, statistical methods in clinical trials, ethics in clinical research, and virology and viral diseases.

Michael F. Egan has authored several papers published in varied academic journals. Notable works include:

  • "BACE inhibition causes rapid, regional, and non-progressive volume reduction in Alzheimer's disease brain," 2020, Brain
  • "Clinical Meaningfulness in Alzheimer's Disease Clinical Trials. A Report from the EU-US CTAD Task Force," 2024, The Journal of Prevention of Alzheimer s Disease
  • "Establishing an immune correlate of protection for Nipah virus in nonhuman primates," 2024, npj Vaccines
  • "Post-operative ureteral injury after cytoreductive surgery for ovarian cancer managed by primary repair through minimally invasive approach," 2022, International Journal of Gynecological Cancer
  • "The Science of Bureaucracy: Risk Decision-Making and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency," 2024, Isis

Frequently collaborating with other researchers, Egan has coauthored papers with Cyrille Sur, James Kost, David Scott, Katarzyna Adamczuk, and Nick C. Fox.

Their publications appear consistently in journals such as Brain, The Journal of Prevention of Alzheimer s Disease, npj Vaccines, International Journal of Gynecological Cancer, and Isis.
