Devina Purmessur studies the biology of the spine, particularly the intervertebral disc (the cushioning structure between spinal bones), focusing on how cell behavior, inflammation, and biomechanical stress contribute to conditions like low back pain and disc degeneration. Work includes laboratory studies of disc and cartilage cells, comparisons of experimental models, and broader analyses of research trends in the spine field. This research is oriented toward understanding causes of back pain and informing future orthopedic treatments.
Publication output has been relatively steady but modest over the last decade, fluctuating between 1 and 4 papers per year without a clear upward or downward trend.
