DDUH Oral Microbiome research featured in HRB “Research in Action”

The Health Research Board has published their annual Health Research in Action publication, showcasing successful HRB funded research. This year’s publication features a section on oral microbiome research carried out in DDUH on patients with potentially malignant disease, led by Profs Gary Moran and Claire Healy: https://www.hrb.ie/publication/health-research-in-action/

The research is focused on using the microbiome as a tool to characterise the risk of malignant transformation and to determine if microbiome changes are themselves a risk factor.

The research was largely performed by PhD students Sheila Galvin, Ajith Selvaraj and Claire Crowley, with clinical support from Sviatlana Anishchuk.
