This grant opportunity from the NIDCR focuses on studying bacteriophages in the mouth. It aims to understand their influence on health and disease, and explore the potential for developing therapies using these viruses, which are often ignored despite being plentiful. The research will investigate how bacteriophages affect bacterial communities in the oral cavity and their possible medical uses.

The NIDCR aims to support research on bacteriophage biology in the oral cavity, focusing on their role in health and disease, and the potential for phage therapy development. Despite their abundance, bacteriophages in the oral cavity are often overlooked. This initiative seeks to explore their i… Show More
