Rock, Paper, Scissors: The oral microbiome at the intersection of genotypic, anthropogenic and systemic factors
Purnima Kumar, DDS, PhD William K. and Mary Anne Najjar Professor of Dentistry and Professor of Dentistry Department of Periodontics and Oral Medicine University of Michigan, School of Dentistry
As a dual-trained periodontist and microbial ecologist, I use my clinical skills and training in ‘-omics’ research to investigate the myriad ways in which the human microbiome can be harnessed to promote health. I firmly believe that oral health and systemic diseases are intricately connected, and that global health can only be achieved when physicians and dentists collaborate to identify at-risk individuals and deliver integrated care.
