DISEASES
Dr. Daniel Fine,
Director
973-972-7053
The Center for Oral Infectious Diseases is a modern, state-of-the-art
basic research science facility whose faculty members investigate both
host mediated and bacterially mediated factors that contribute to the
cause of various oral diseases by biochemical, immunological and microbiological
means. Areas under investigation include the virulence factors of A. actinomycetemcomitans,
antibody response variations in localized juvenile periodontitis, the
structural and functional domains of amylase, alcohol's effect on the
glycobiology of mucous secretions, and the relation of salivary lipid
to oral mucosal diseases, defensins and their role in disease, cytokines
in disease, genetic risk markers of infectious, developmental and malignant
diseases.
The Office of the Center for Oral
Infectious Diseases is located in Room C636 in the Medical Science Building.
