Assistant Professor
Rutgers School of Dental Medicine
Newark, New Jersey
I am an Assistant Professor of Oral Biology, and my research is focused on pulp regeneration using endogenous and exogenous stem cells and the molecular mechanisms of vital pulp therapy using rodent and canine models. In particular I have been studying on the mechanism and function of dental pulp to cure the traumas or injuries using genetic mouse models. For injured dental pulp, which has limited potential for recovery, the ability to induce dentinogenesis is critical to flee from bacterial invasion. I also investigate the cellular transcriptome and microbiome of inflamed human dental pulp in medically compromised patients. My long-term career goal is to identify the molecular and cellular mechanisms in human dental pulp during traumas/injuries or aging. Such information is necessary to develop a new device of pulp diagnosis and new therapeutic method including dental bioactive materials in the future.
