This federal Project Grant award of $460,885 from the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research (NIDCR), under the Oral Diseases and Disorders Research program (CFDA 93.121), supports research on how the fungus Candida albicans interacts with the bacterium Streptococcus mutans to enhance the formation and virulence of cariogenic biofilms. The primary objectives are to identify the transcription factors and protein kinases in Candida albicans that regulate its interactions with...
This Project Grant award of $463,530 from the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research (NIDCR), under the Oral Diseases and Disorders Research federal grant program (CFDA 93.121), will fund research to investigate the pathogenicity of alcohol-tolerant strains of the fungus Candida albicans in the oral cavity. The research aims to determine if alcohol-tolerant C. albicans strains exhibit increased virulence and damage when interacting with human oral epithelial cells, both with...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research (NIDCR), under the Oral Diseases and Disorders Research program (CFDA 93.121), provides $163,411 to The Ohio State University to conduct research on the interactions between the oral bacterium Streptococcus mutans and other commensal oral streptococcal species. The research aims to elucidate the nutritional niches and carbohydrate utilization preferences of these microbes within oral biofilms, with...
This $314,000 Project Grant award from the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research (NIDCR), under the Oral Diseases and Disorders Research program (CFDA 93.121), will support research to gain insights into the evolution of fungal resistance in the oral environment of HIV-positive individuals. The research will leverage an existing patient dataset to: 1) use long-read sequencing to profile the fungal mycobiome in patient saliva and caries samples, and 2) perform longitudinal...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research (NIDCR), under the Oral Diseases and Disorders Research program (CFDA 93.121), will support research to investigate functional amyloid formation in the oral bacterium Streptococcus mutans. The total funding amount is $505,530 and the award period runs from September 16, 2024 to September 15, 2025. The key research objectives include: (1) exploring the relationships between S. mutans amyloid-forming...
This $515,926 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) will fund research to develop an in vitro gingival (gum) tissue system to study the role of microbial communities on oral health and disease. The 5-year project, beginning June 1, 2024, will be conducted by the University of Massachusetts Lowell's Office of Research Administration-Lowell. The key objectives are: (1) developing and validating a microphysiological system to study oral...
This federal Project Grant award, provided by the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research (NIDCR) under the Oral Diseases and Disorders Research program (CFDA 93.121), will fund a research project focused on understanding the microbial ecosystem around dental implants and preventing the development of peri-implantitis, a disease that leads to implant failure. The $675,684 award, effective August 1, 2024 through July 31, 2025, will support the Regents of the University of...
This Project Grant award of $310,000.00 from the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research (NIDCR), under the Oral Diseases and Disorders Research (CFDA 93.121) federal grant program, will fund research to identify natural products synthesized by Streptococcus mutans bacteria that can kill the pathogen Enterococcus faecalis. The research aims to determine if S. mutans biofilms producing these natural products can exclude E. faecalis from invading pre-formed biofilms and shape the...
This Project Grant award of $248,627 from the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research (NIDCR) under the Oral Diseases and Disorders Research federal grant program (CFDA 93.121) supports research to understand the role of T cell responses to the oral pathogen Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans in the immunopathology of periodontal disease. The research aims to: 1) assess systemic T cell responses to this pathogen in human periodontal disease, and 2) determine the role of...
This Project Grant award of $398,000 from the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research (NIDCR) under the Oral Diseases and Disorders Research program (CFDA 93.121) will support a mechanistic investigation of microbial interactions and their impact on periodontal health during clear aligner orthodontic treatment. The research will focus on the synergistic relationship between three bacterial species - Fusobacterium nucleatum, Actinomyces spp., and Saccharibacteria (TM7) - that...
