Biography
Mingjin Yao is a PhD student in the Garnett research group at the Centre for Host–Microbiome Interactions, King’s College London.
Her current research focuses on peri-implant disease, investigating bacterial–host response interactions through biofilm experiments. In parallel, she integrates artificial intelligence and multi-omics approaches with clinical samples to better understand disease mechanisms and improve the identification and management of peri-implantitis.
Research
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.
Garnett Lab
The Garnett Lab investigates molecular mechanisms that promote bacterial disease. In particular we are interested in biofilm formation and other key virulence traits that allow bacteria to establish infections and persist within the host/environment.
