Centre for Bioengineering

Title: Futuristic Materials in Caries Management: A Minimally Invasive Strategy Abstract: Dental caries remains one of the most prevalent chronic diseases in clinical practice. Despite advances in prevention, many healthcare systems still rely on invasive and resource-intensive treatments that do not fully address the underlying disease or patient quality of life. This talk will highlight the growing importance of Evidence-Based Dentistry (EBD) and Minimally Invasive Dentistry (MID) as...

Centre for Bioengineering

Title: The yeast toxicome: A potential source for new antifungals for biocontrol, food and human health. Abstract: Fungal pathogens are an emerging threat to human health and food security. Very few fungicides are available and resistance to these is rising. It is a long-standing challenge to develop new antifungals. As eukaryotic pathogens, fungi offer very few selective drug targets and we urgently need new strategies for antifungal development. Ascomycete yeasts – such as...
