معرفی
Julia Davies serves as Professor of Oral Biology and Pro Dean at Malmö University's Faculty of Odontology, Division 1. She leads research at the intersection of microbiology and dental pathology with significant contributions to understanding oral biofilm mechanisms.
Her primary research focuses on microbial biofilms (dental plaque) and their role in oral disease development. Key interests include:
- Oral streptococcal adhesins in early biofilm formation
- Bacterial adaptation to salivary proteins
- Proteolytic activity development in periodontitis and peri-implantitis biofilms
Dr. Davies teaches dental students across multiple disciplines including cell biology, tooth development, mucosal biology, and salivary biochemistry. Her recent publications demonstrate strong international collaboration in dental education frameworks and biofilm research.
She is affiliated with the Biofilms Research Centre for Biointerfaces and contributes to the Advancing Oral Health research profile, which aims to improve oral healthcare through interdisciplinary research and education. As a key contact for this research profile, she collaborates across multiple divisions within the Faculty of Odontology and maintains an active role in shaping dental education standards across Europe.
