Research
Centre for Host-Microbiome Interactions
Millions of microorganisms live in and on our bodies forming microbiomes on different surfaces. Researchers in the Centre for Host Microbiome Interactions study our relationship with these bacteria and fungi in health or in oral and systemic diseases such as periodontitis, candidiasis, oral cancer and Alzheimer’s disease.
Dental Public Health
We are an international group of experts in public health, epidemiology and health services. We work collaboratively with colleagues around the world to conduct mixed methods research aiming to improve population oral health, reduce oral health inequalities, and strengthen the organisation and delivery of dental services.
