Michael Glogauer

Dr. Michael Glogauer is a leader in oral innate immunity in health and disease. As a dental clinician scientist, he focuses on understanding how oral disease impacts on general health. The Glogauer lab has revealed novel concepts of distinct neutrophil activation states in oral health and periodontal disease and how shifts in neutrophil activation and the oral microbiome can be used as a diagnostic biomarker for early detection of periodontal diseases and how oral disease can impact systemic health. He is a professor at the Faculty of Dentistry, University of Toronto, Head of Dentistry at University Health Network and Head of Dental Oncology at Princess Margaret Cancer Centre. He is also Fellow of the Canadian Academy of Health Sciences.
