Ozge Erdogan

Ozge Erdogan is a Postdoctoral Researcher at Harvard School of Dental Medicine, where her work bridges sensory-immune interactions in dental pain and inflammation with translational research. She earned her DDS at Yeditepe University's School of Dentistry and a DMSc in Oral Biology from Harvard School of Dental Medicine, focusing on calcitonin gene-related peptide and neutrophil interactions during dental pulp infection.

• Education: DDS, Yeditepe University; DMSc in Oral Biology, Harvard School of Dental Medicine

Her research investigates how sensory neurons modulate immune responses in dental pulp inflammation, using clinically relevant animal models in the Chiu Lab. Key areas include neuro-immune axis mechanisms, cytokine dynamics, and biomarker discovery for endodontic pathologies. She also contributes to clinical teaching and patient care, emphasizing regenerative endodontic procedures and pain management.

Recent publications highlight her expertise in neuro-immune defense against infections, dental pulp biomarkers, and translational studies on root resorption and post-surgical pain. While no specific awards are mentioned, her work spans fundamental immunology, sensory neuroscience, and clinical dentistry applications.
