Research Topic

Stem-cell induced pain relief is a field of study that has shown much promise in relieving pain associated with migraines and osteoarthritis. However, there are still many questions about how stem-cells can be used to treat dental related pain. My current research focuses on unraveling the mechanism of mesenchymal stem cell induced analgesia on a model of apical periodontitis. The long-term goal of my research is to understand peripheral pain mechanism in the orofacial region.
