Project overview
National Biofilms Innovation Centre (NBIC), UK. Proof of Concept (POC) Round 1 (Research Grant). £99,470 (£49,470 from NBIC, £37,632 from Unilever).
Hundreds of microorganisms live in the mouth, many are harmless while others cause caries and gum disease. This project will utilise an in vitro model system to investigate how oral hygiene products may affect this complex oral microbiome to better predict product efficacy.

Biofilms are a collective of one or more types of microorganisms that can grow on different surfaces. Their impact is central to some of the most urgent global challenges, including food and water security, antimicrobial resistance (AMR), infections disease and contamination and more.
