Maryam Jessri

Dr. Maryam Jessri is a Conjoint Senior Lecturer at the School of Dentistry, The University of Queensland. Her research focuses on molecular mechanisms underlying oral oncology, particularly DNA damage repair pathways in oral mucosal lesions. She holds a PhD in Dental Science (2015) from The University of Queensland, where her thesis investigated DNA damage repair pathways in oral lesions.

Her work integrates genomics, digital pathology, and artificial intelligence to advance diagnostics for oral cancers. Key areas include oral leukoplakia, squamous cell carcinoma, and chronic graft-versus-host disease. She has published extensively in high-impact journals like Oral Oncology and International Journal of Molecular Sciences.

Her recent studies explore AI applications in histopathology imaging and genomic profiling of head and neck tumors. Despite no listed awards, her contributions to understanding genetic drivers of oral malignancies are significant. No current grants or advisory roles are detailed here.
