Junior Research Fellow - DBT Dysplasia to Carcinoma Project

The scope of the described study is focused on understanding the molecular mechanisms and early indicators of malignant transformation in the oral cavity, with a specific emphasis on oral potentially malignant disorders (OPMDs) and their progression to oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC). The study aims to address the high prevalence of oral cancers in India, where 80% of cases stem from OPMDs, by identifying early biomarkers that predict the likelihood of malignant transformation.
