Keynote

Jennifer Webster-Cyriaque, DDS, PhD

Professor of Dentistry/Oral and Craniofacial Health Sciences

Dr. Webster-Cyriaque’s research interests include Viral oral infections in Immunosuppression and Cancer (VOIICe), microbiology viral pathogenesis and clinical translational oral medicine. Her laboratory seeks to understand the critical molecular interactions between the virus and the host that govern the development of oral lesions and malignancies and to translate these findings to the many immune compromised patients seen in practice that are burdened by oral disease. In addition to clinical trials based work designed to translate laboratory findings, her lab also focuses on 3 other major areas of study: mechanisms of Viral Pathogenesis/Reactivation in the Oral Cavity and other compartments, HPV in oral disease and cancer, and Clinical Trial SPNS/UNC HIV Oral Health Demonstration Project.
