Dr. Bianca Cabri
|
Bianca attended Johns Hopkins University where she received her BS in Molecular and Cellular Biology. There she began her involvement in research by performing forward genetic screens on zebrafish to identify defects in fat metabolism. | |
| She went on to attend Columbia University College of Dental Medicine where she continued with research. Her research analyzed the effects of occlusal loading and estrogen receptor beta on the mouse TMJ. She presented these findings as an oral presentation at the Annual Conference in Charlotte, NC. | ||
| Now, during her postgraduate orthodontic training, she continues her research on estrogen and the mouse TMJ. Her research proposal will delineate the cell signaling in mediating estrogen induction of alpha 2 macroglobulin in the TMJ. She hopes that the research will be a step in elucidating a novel treatment for patients who suffer from temporomandibular joint disorders. | ||

Dr. Camille Francois
|
Camille is half French-half Swedish and was raised in Lyon, France. She completed her Bachelors and Masters degrees in Dental Medicine at the University of Geneva in Switzerland where she developed a particular interest in Orthodontics. | |
| Camille has just started her third year of Orthodontic residency at the Henry M. Goldman School of Dental Medicine in Boston. Her resident research project focuses on 3D condylar changes after rapid maxillary expansion. She will try to identify alterations in condylar shape, volume and orientation as well as mandibular plane angle changes before and after rapid maxillary expansion. | ||
