Dr. Amy Engevik
At the Department of Regenerative Medicine and Cell Biology at the Medical University of South Carolina (MUSC), Dr. Amy Engevik's research focuses on the epithelial cells lining the gastrointestinal tract, investigating their role in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and precancerous changes in the gut. One aspect of her work examines how a molecular motor, myosin 5B, is associated with IBD, while another explores how a high-fat diet alters the gastric epithelium, leading to precancerous lesions. By studying these cellular changes, Amy aims to better understand the mechanisms driving gut-related diseases and potential interventions.
