Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Meagan S. Kingren's research investigates the mechanisms of sepsis-induced chronic muscle weakness, with a particular focus on the protective role of mitochondria. Her work examines how pharmacological interventions can preserve mitochondrial function to prevent long-term debilitation following sepsis.

Kingren also studies disease models in mice, including those related to sepsis and burn injuries. Her investigations have explored the impact of housing temperature on burn-induced hypermetabolism in mice and have contributed to understanding the determination of burn size in animal models. She has co-authored publications with researchers such as Craig Porter and Esther H. Teo at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences.
