A neurotoxicologist, Hegg joined the MSU faculty in 2006 and earned her PhD in environmental toxicology from the University of Wisconsin–Madison. Her research focuses on the role of purinergic signaling in the neuroregeneration of olfactory receptor neurons, advancing understanding of how the nervous system replaces neurons after damage from environmental exposures such as air pollution.
