Tran laboratory focuses on diagnostics and therapeutics of early childhood caries related to microbiome and host susceptibility. The primary goal is to examining the role of Streptococcus mutans and the oral microbial communities in children’s susceptibility to early childhood caries. The Tran laboratory also conduct integrated clinical and translational research to test innovations and products in dental and oral health.
