Justine LECLERE

Dr Justine LECLERE is an Associate Professor (MCU-PH) at the University of Reims Champagne-Ardenne, Faculty of Dental Surgery, within the Department of Function-Dysfunction, Imaging and Biomaterials. She combines academic teaching with hospital practice, specialising in orofacial anatomy, physiology, and the diagnosis and treatment of temporomandibular disorders.

Education & Academic Career:
While specific degrees are not detailed, her title of MCU-PH indicates a French national qualification combining university lecturing and hospital practitioner responsibilities.

Research Interests:
Dr LECLERE leads interdisciplinary research that merges dentistry, radiology, and biomedical engineering. Her primary focus is the acquisition and quantitative analysis of temporomandibular joint kinematics using real-time MRI. Complementary work includes automatic generation and tracking of vocal-tract shapes and articulators, advancing both clinical dentistry and speech science.

Across her 2021–2023 publications, a clear trajectory emerges: development and validation of real-time MRI methodologies to capture dynamic orofacial structures, creation of open-access multimodal datasets, and implementation of computational algorithms for automatic motion symmetry and articulatory tracking. These studies bridge clinical imaging needs with cutting-edge signal processing.

Professional Service & Awards:

• President, Reims Champagne-Ardenne section, Collège National d’Occlusodontologie
• Deputy National Treasurer, Collège National d’Occlusodontologie
• Member, Collège National des Enseignants en Fonction-dysfonction, Imagerie & Biomatériaux

Teaching & Clinical Duties:
She teaches dental anatomy, orofacial physiology and dysfunction, and practical morphology/sculpture labs. Hospital consultations cover functional orofacial disorders, integrating clinical care with student education.

Laboratories & Teams:
Her research is embedded within the Department of Function-Dysfunction, Imaging and Biomaterials, leveraging university hospital partnerships and advanced MRI facilities to advance both diagnostic tools and pedagogical resources.
