Our research integrates stem cell technology, osteoimmunology, biomedical engineering, and biomaterial science to achieve the physical and functional restoration of dental and oral tissues.

Areas of interest

Our areas of interest include:

  • Cells or cell derivatives to repair or regenerate oral tissues;
  • Immunomodulation therapy harnessing immune response by biologically active molecules and biomaterials;
  • In vitro modelling to mimic cellular crosstalk in periodontitis and systemic diseases
