Research groups and labs

The Faculty of Dentistry, Oral & Craniofacial Sciences promotes cutting edge collaborative research within an interdisciplinary context.

We have research groups and labs which have secured positions at the forefront of international scientific research and which make major contributions to teaching, training and research by inspiring and nurturing the next generation of scientific leaders. 

Green Lab

The Green Laboratory investigates tissue morphogenesis and the action of morphogens.

Centre for Host-Microbiome Interactions

Millions of microorganisms live in and on our bodies forming microbiomes on different surfaces. Researchers in the Centre for Host Microbiome Interactions study our relationship with these bacteria and fungi in health or in oral and systemic diseases such as periodontitis, candidiasis, oral cancer and Alzheimer’s disease.

Knight Group

Molecular regulation of cell behaviour during muscle regeneration and disease

Lehner Lab

The Lehnher Lab introduced Immunology nationally and globally to investigate the mechanism and prevention of dental and oral diseases.

London Centre for Nanotechnology

The London Centre for Nanotechnology is a UK-based multidisciplinary enterprise operating at the forefront of science and technology. Its purpose is to solve global problems in information processing, healthcare, energy and the environment through the application of nanoscience and nanotechnology.

Mardinoglu Lab

The Mardinoglu lab is interested in development of genome-scale metabolic models (GEMs) for human cells/tissues and employing these comprehensive models in the analysis of omics data obtained from subjects with complex diseases.

Microbes in Health & Disease

The Microbes in Health & Diseases Research Interest Group aims to foster collaboration across departments and faculties at KCL to explore the multifaceted role microbes play in health and disease.

Naglik Lab

The Naglik Lab employs molecular, cellular, immunological, biophysical and structural biology to investigate host-fungal interactions.
