Frank A. Scannapieco, D.M.D., PhD. joins me in this very candid conversation about the connection between our oral health and our overall health. And yes, there is a connection between our dental hygiene and a host of diseases that they're just beginning to scrape the surface on.
Frank Scannapieco, SUNY Distinguished Professor of Oral Biology, has an international reputation in the field of oral biology. His research interests have included studies of basic mechanisms of dental plaque (biofilm) formation, and implications for health and disease. His laboratory has studied details of the interaction between salivary proteins and bacteria, and how these influence oral biofilms.
He is also a pioneer in studies connecting oral and systemic diseases such as pneumonia, COPD, diabetes and cancer. A member of the University at Buffalo faculty since 1991. Dr Scannapieco served as the Chair of the Department of Oral Biology from 2004 to 2022. Over his career, he has mentored numerous junior faculty, postdoctoral fellows, and graduate, dental and college students.
He was awarded a number of research grants over the course of his career, edited several books and journal supplements, and has published more than 170 peer-reviewed articles and book chapters.
A fellow of the American Association of Dental Research, Scannapieco has received several awards, including the State University of New York Chancellor’s Award for Excellence in Scholarship and Creative Activities, Distinguished Scientist Award in Oral Biology from the International Association for Dental Research, the William J. Gies Award for Achievement from the American Dental Education Association, and the Irwin D. Mandel Distinguished Mentoring Award, from the American Association for Dental Research.
