Associate Professor and Director of the Center of Excellence and Innovation for Oral Health and Healthy Longevity, Chulalongkorn UniversitySeminar: Oral Mucositis-on-a-Chip: A Multi-Factorial Strategy to Chemotherapy Modeling and Bacterial Exposure (React4Life)
Online Webinar
Head and neck cancer (HNC) therapies such as chemotherapy can greatly damage the oral mucosa lining leading to debilitating and painful oral mucositis (OM) lesions. Current treatments are mainly palliative and rely on the use of systemic growth factors that have been discontinued by many drug regulatory agencies in the EU and Asia; hence, these patients end up with a very poor quality of life. In the last 12 years, our research team has developed biofabrication protocols of oral mucosa...
