Professional Profile:

Orcid

Academic and Professional Background:

I hold a DDS, MD, and MSc degrees, with a postgraduate thesis on the “Isolation and characterization of stem cells from minor salivary glands of the oral mucosa and their differentiation into insulin-producing pancreatic cells.” Currently, I am pursuing a PhD focusing on the molecular pathways of pancreatic differentiation in minor salivary gland stem cells. My academic journey includes a two-year residency in pathology and plans for a four-year residency in rheumatology.

Research and Innovations:

Daylight Photodynamic Therapy: Successfully completed a project exploring its efficacy in treating actinic cheilitis.
Pancreatic Differentiation: Ongoing research on the potential of minor salivary gland stem cells to differentiate into insulin-producing pancreatic cells.

Areas of Research:

Photodynamic therapy
Daylight photodynamic therapy
Actinic cheilitis
Human minor salivary gland stem cells
Pancreatic differentiation

Contributions:

My research has demonstrated that daylight photodynamic therapy can serve as a primary treatment for actinic cheilitis with grade I dysplasia, showing complete clinical response with minimal adverse effects. Additionally, my work has established the potential of minor salivary gland stem cells for pancreatic differentiation, which could advance diabetes mellitus treatments.
