Assistant Professor and Senior Registrar in Oral Pathology with a primary focus on oral epithelial dysplasia and oral cancer. Her work integrates diagnostic histopathology with emerging technologies, particularly digital pathology and artificial intelligence, to better understand early disease processes. Alongside her academic and research roles, she is actively involved in oral histopathology services at the dental university hospital (DUH) and the training of dental and postgraduate students.
areas of expertise
Her expertise lies in oral and maxillofacial pathology, with a particular emphasis on oral potentially malignant disorders and oral squamous cell carcinoma. She specializes in histopathologic evaluation of dysplasia, biomarker studies, and the application of digital pathology and AI for objective tissue analysis. Her research interests include immune–epithelial interactions in early carcinogenesis, spatial analysis of histologic features, and the development of computational tools to improve diagnostic accuracy and risk stratification in oral diseases.
