Prof Mark Ide’s research work has been a mixture of basic sciences, clinical and translational investigating dentine sensitivity treatment and assessment, periodontal- systemic links and inflammation including pregnancy outcome, monitoring and assessment of periodontal tissues in health and disease.

Currently focusing on biomarkers for periodontal and other diseases, periodontal-systemic links, inflammation, epidemiology, disease measurement and associations with microbiome, as well as tissues imaging and the use of technology for education and for improving the physical performance of clinicians.

Dr Jianhua Wu’s main research interests are statistical application in applied oral and medical health research (particularly cardiovascular disease); data mining, machine learning analysis and methodological development for electronic health record data; understanding the relationship between oral health and systemic disease; data linkage for research-ready database, new design and analysis for clinical trials ; Trigeminal Neuralgia, GWAS study in oral health. He was recently awarded a BHF-Alan Turing Data Science Award to conduct a big data project using Hospital Episode Statistic. 

Francesco qualified with DMD honour’s degree from the University of Naples in 1997.
