High resolution profiling of oral biofilms: from toolbox development to novel treatment analysis for periodontitis KU Leuven
Periodontitis is a multifactorial chronic inflammatory disease in the oral cavity associated with the accumulation of microorganisms in a biofilm. Studying these complex communities under controlled conditions require in vitro biofilm model systems that mimic the natural environment as close as possible. The aim of this research project is the establishment of a multispecies periodontal model that is representative for periodontitis, mimics ...
