Projects

Exploring Bacteriophage-Driven Periodontal Diseases using Multi-Omics approach

The most common forms of inflammatory periodontal diseases are gingivitis and
periodontitis. Dental plaque biofilm-induced gingivitis is characterized by gingival
inflammation and swollen and bleeding gums. Here are the bacteriophage-driven oral
diseases and their impact on systemic health. The link between phage and cardiac infections
remains unexplored and also limited knowledge of metabolomic signatures of bacteriophage
activity in oral health and disease. This project Integrates multi-omics data with bacteriophage in oral disease, elucidating their potential connection to systemic health particularly cardiac infections.

Awards & Recognitions
