AD Williams Projects 2014-2015
“Identifying therapeutic targets for combating human papillomavirus (HPV) positive head and neck cancer”
Dr Morgan immorgan@vcu.edu
“Novel biodegradable cell delivery device for periodontal regeneration”
Dr Lin zlin@vcu.edu
“Characterization of the role of microbial nucleic acid sensing in periodontitis and genetic and epigenetic susceptibility for periodontal inflammation.”
The on-going projects include clinical, in vivo (mice models of periodontitis) and in vitro studies.
Dr Sahingur ssahingur@vcu.edu
“Examination of mechanisms by which oral streptococci cause a heart infection called endocarditis.”
Student projects will involve microbiological assays on genetically engineered bacterial strains and/or molecular biological procedures, such as PCR and construction of recombinant bacterial strains.
