Dr. Kristen Engevik
Kristen Engevik, Ph.D. launched her lab at the Department of Regenerative Medicine & Cell Biology at the Medical University of South Carolina (MUSC) in September 2024. Her research centers on cell communication, particularly purinergic signaling, which examines extracellular purines as triggers for specific cellular responses. She investigates how this signaling pathway maintains gut homeostasis and how dysregulation can contribute to disease. By unraveling these complex cellular interactions, Kristen’s work sheds light on fundamental processes that could pave the way for new therapeutic approaches.
