Oral Ecology and Inflammation
Insights into biofilm ecology and inflammatory processes are central to oral disease control and healing processes. We strive to develop this understanding for the ultimate good of the public.
What We Do
We work in biofilm ecology, inflammatory diseases, tissue healing and bio-engineering, and study fluoride dynamics with the aim of improving the control and treatment of oral diseases and the clinical decision making for individuals and groups.
Our core competences include the development of confocal microscopy based methods for biofilm imaging and the systematic testing of novel therapeutic approaches to biofilm control.
Who We Are
Our research theme hosts 12 highly specialized researchers, and we collaborate extensively with other research teams nationally as well as internationally.
Meet one of our researchers:
Sebastian Schlafer
Professor
Meet the professor whose research on dental biofilm creates a new understanding of caries and provides opportunities for more targeted approaches to caries control.
