I am passionate about high-quality clinical trials and the development of robust clinical evidence, so to guide clinical decisions in daily medical practice. My research activity has developed along the following main fields relevant to oral diseases:
- Clinical development and testing of diagnostics and therapeutics
- High-quality observational clinical studies
- Patient-related outcome measures and patients’ informational needs
- Establishment of large tissue collection (blood, saliva and DNA) relevant to Oral Diseases
My research has focussed on:
DEVELOPMENT AND TESTING OF DIAGNOSTICS AND THERAPEUTICS
- New therapeutics for salivary gland dysfunction (xerostomia) associated with rheumatic disease and cancer therapy
- Novel non-invasive point-of-care diagnostics for oral cancer and pre-cancer:
- Genetic predisposition to develop toxicity from anti-resorptive medications:
- Repurposing of therapies for chemoprevention of oral cancer and management of complications of cancer therapy:
OBSERVATIONAL STUDIES
Observational study on long-term behaviour of jaw osteonecrosis
Observational studies on medication-related jaw osteonecrosis
Observational studies on chronic immunologically-mediated oral diseases
PATIENT-RELATED OUTCOME MEASURES AND PATIENT INFORMATION
Development and validation of patient-related outcome measures and patients’ informational needs in Oral Medicine.
