Research Interests
- Specific interest during and immediately post-graduation in Zagreb, Croatia focused on solid organ tumors. Under the guidance of renown Oncologist Dr. Sime Spaventi, I have observed and investigated frequency and implications of distant spread of primary oral cavity malignant growths and attempted to determine antitumor immunological reactivity as a primary means of defense based on TNM classifications.
- Translational applications of regenerative pulp therapies using novel methods.
