About the group
The focus of the group is to better understand the biology of oral precancer (potentially malignant oral disorders) and cancer using comprehensive molecular techniques (mRNA, miRNA, protein analyses) and to identify molecular biomarkers for risk assessment of oral precancer and personalized management of oral cancer.
Projects
- Biomarkers in oral potentially malignant oral disorders.
- S100A14 and S100A16 proteins in oral cancer: Functional roles, prognostic and therapeutic values.
- Development and characterization of 3D-coculture models for investigation of functional roles of genes and to test the biological effects of dental biomaterials.
