This grant supports research on chronic inflammation related to dental, oral, and craniofacial diseases. It seeks studies on the mechanisms of post-viral chronic inflammation, the link between microbially induced inflammation and oral cancers, and the development of treatments targeting functional outcomes in the oral cavity.

The NIDCR encourages studies with a mechanistic focus on chronic inflammation as they relate to onset or progression of dental, oral and craniofacial diseases. This includes understanding mechanisms involved in post-viral chronic inflammation, exploring the relationship of microbially induced ch… Show More
