Lab Members – Momen-Heravi Lab

Scientists at the Momen-Heravi lab combine molecular biology methods, bioinformatic approaches, and translational research in their effort to understand underlying signaling events and tumor vulnerabilities to treat head and neck cancer and lung cancer as well as understand and target inflammatory cascades in periodontitis and diabetes.

The lab consists of postdocs, graduate students, dental students, and residents. We aim to be a resource to our colleagues and to train highly motivated students and post-docs to make impacts in science and patients’ life.

A method developed by CDM profs @FatemehHeravi, Panos Papapanou & colleagues uses genetic markers to discern different cell types in gum... tissue. The technology could help researchers study cell-specific molecular processes that occur in #periodontaldisease https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.1177/0022034520979614
