Maureen Joy Zøylner

Maureen Joy Zøylner is an Academic Researcher in the Department of Biomedical Sciences at the Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences, University of Copenhagen. She is affiliated with the reNEW international stem cell research institute and works within the Jensen Lab, focusing on gastrointestinal disease mechanisms and regenerative medicine.

Her research spans Stem Cell Research, Immunology, and Gastroenterology with specific expertise in JAK/STAT signaling pathways and inflammatory bowel disease. Current investigations examine how cellular signaling drives pathological cell state emergence in ulcerative colitis, bridging molecular biology with clinical gastroenterology to identify therapeutic targets for chronic inflammatory conditions.

Dr. Zøylner collaborates extensively within the Jensen Lab on stem cell applications for gastrointestinal disorders, contributing to translational research that connects basic science discoveries with potential clinical interventions for inflammatory bowel diseases.
