课程简介

Research in this area addresses oral bacteria, their interactions with one another and the host, and their role in extra-oral diseases. Periodontal disease is a particular focus of the Philips Institute. This disease of the gums and bone that support the teeth is one of the most common illnesses in the U.S., affecting nearly half of Americans aged 30 and over and 70% of Americans 65 and older. NIH-funded research projects examine the role of immune and inflammatory pathways and host-pathogen interactions in periodontal disease pathogenesis, periodontal pathogen virulence determinants, and interactions of these pathogens with other oral bacteria in biofilm communities. The aim of this research is to develop an understanding of the molecular mechanisms of periodontal disease initiation and progression with the goal of developing new approaches to prevent and treat this illness. Next-generation antibiotics targeting bacteria that contribute to periodontal disease while sparing health-promoting bacteria are currently under investigation in pre-clinical trials.
