Join us for the final webinar in this limited series on safety assessment of microbiome perturbations, focusing on the oral microbiome and bioinformatics approaches. Find out more about the talks below:
Safety considerations for targeting the oral microbiome
Most oral diseases are preventable, yet these conditions stubbornly remain the most prevalent group of diseases in humans worldwide. Unlike other sites in the body, maintaining oral health requires frequent intervention to control the oral microbiome. There are challenges to developing new oral care products since oral diseases such as dental caries and periodontitis typically take years to develop, so clinical trials can be lengthy and expensive. There is an urgent need to find robust biomarkers that give early indications of unsafe perturbations to the oral microbiome and provide timely warning signs for testing novel oral care products. Here, I will discuss our current understanding of the oral microbiome and the potential for identification of microbial biomarkers that can give early indications of shifts towards dysbiosis and damage.
Sign up to attend this series of seminars below. You will receive an email with information about each upcoming presentation, including joining instructions, a Zoom link, and any other relevant information, two days before each seminar. A second reminder email will be sent one hour before each seminar. Unfortunately, if you have signed up less than two hours before the seminar, you will not be able to attend until the next seminar in the series.
Please note all times listed in the programme are UK time.
All seminars will be run via Zoom, a link for which will be sent to you via email prior to the meeting. Please ensure you have updated to the latest version of the Zoom desktop or mobile application (version 5.3 or higher is recommended).
