Biography/ Background
Graduated in August 2013 with a Master's Degree in Applied Science (Immunology). Appointed as a Research Officer in the Colgate Australian Clinical Dental Research Centre (CACDRC), School of Dentistry August 2012. Research interests include systemic health interrelationship between Periodontal Disease and Rheumatoid Arthritis, the efficacy of periodontal ligament stem cells in periodontal tissue regeneration, the role of mesenchymal stem cells in immnunomodulation, emerging autoantibodies implicated in systemic diseases and cancer immunotherapy research. Recently started to research oral and gut microbiome and their implication in inflammmation, particulalrly Periodontal Disease. Currently investigating D-amino acids and silver nanoparticles and their ability to disrupt biofilms. Expertise in small animal models for sytemic diseases and cancer, MicroCT, confocal microscopy, tissue culture, microbiology and numerous other cell and molecular biology techniques.
