Title: “Decoding Skin and Oral Mucosa: Insights into Regeneration, Immunity, and Cancer”
Dr Sequeira’s lab is particularly interested in dissecting the molecular and cellular mechanisms involved in oral cancer formation and in understanding the outstanding regenerative potential of the oral mucosa, a tissue with rapid and scarless healing when compared to skin. Our aim is to combine experimental and theoretical approaches including advanced single cell and spatial multi-omics, multiplex imaging, 2D and 3D organoid technology, 3D live-imaging to unravel fundamental mechanisms underlying oral wound healing and tumour formation.
