Clinical Specialisations

  • Dentist
  • Pediatric Dentistry
  • Restorative Dentistry
  • Oral Biology

Research Interests

  • Genetic disorders and orofacial development
  • Stem cells in homeostasis, pathology and regeneration
  • Innervation and vascularization of the craniofacial complex
  • Nanotechnology, "organ-on-a-chip" technology, and therapy

Tooth formation, pathology and regeneration using various genetically modified mouse lines in combination with stem cell biology, microfluidics/chips technology and novel live imaging approaches A big variety of model systems related to Notch signaling pathway. A good number of mouse models exhibiting dental anomalies are in process of examination, while the interplay of dental stem cells with nerves and vessels are under investigation in vivo or in vitro (microfluidic devices).
