Development of an Exosome-based Diagnostic Platform for Periodontal Disease and Root Resorption

Dr. Shaddox’s study contains a signed /consented tissue bank of oral fluid samples already collected from this population that will help Dr. Rody to achieve the enrollment goal of 20 patients for his NIH-R03 award. Dr. Shaddox will be responsible for identifying the cases that fulfill the inclusion/exclusion criteria for Dr. Rody’s study within her pool of patients. Upon IRB approval, she will send the oral fluid samples to be processed at Stony Brook University (SBU). She will also participate in data analysis, data interpretation and preparation of manuscripts.
