There are currently two main projects in our lab:   1. Bio-Responsive and Immune Protein-Based Therapies for Inhibition of Proteolytic Enzymes in Dental Tissues. This project aims to develop multifunctional bio-responsive platforms capable of interacting dynamically with enzymes and cytokines present in pathogenic oral conditions by modulating their activity and, ultimately, promoting new tissue formation (NIH DE032302).   2. Design and Synthesis of Self-Healing Dental Materials. This project aims to develop dental materials capable of inhibiting microcrack propagation within a restoration and promote autonomous microstructural healing under masticatory forces and thermal stress. We are engineering a novel, microcapsule-based, self-healing dental material system for the expressed purpose of increasing the clinical survival of dental composite-based restorations, which often fail due to fracture (NIDCR DE028876).   The successful candidate will have extensive experience in cell culture, key regulatory cytokines and enzymes involved in inflammatory diseases that lead to tissues destruction, and the tools to validate the efficiency of responsive nanocarriers to immune modulate their activity. It is expected that the appointed candidate works independently, play an active role seeking career and research advice, perform the research required by the supervisor to a high standard, in accordance with institutional and federal regulations and ethical standards, and work in a collegial and cooperative manner with the supervisor and other co-workers. Career development training opportunities are highly encouraged by the PI and are plentiful at OHSU.
