Maiko Suzuki
Maiko Suzuki, D.D.S., Ph.D., is an Associate Professor in the Department of Oral Science and Translational Research at the College of Dental Medicine. Dr. Suzuki earned her Doctor of Dental Surgery (D.D.S.) and Doctor of Philosophy in Dentistry (Ph.D.) from Tohoku University in Japan. Before joining NSU, Dr. Suzuki was an Assistant Professor at Tohoku University, a Postdoctoral Fellow at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, an Assistant Research Investigator at the Forsyth Institute, an Assistant Professor at the Ohio State University, and an Associate Professor at the Dental College of Georgia, Augusta University.
Since her Ph.D. program, Dr. Suzuki has had a stellar record studying the molecular biology of cancer, periodontitis, tooth development, and the health effects of fluoride and organo-fluorine (PFAS). Dr. Suzuki’s overarching objective in the dental-oral-craniofacial research field is to identify environmental factors related to craniofacial pathophysiology and develop novel preventive and therapeutic strategies for environmental factor-associated oral disease. Dr. Suzuki has been working on two NIH grant-funded projects. One is the R01 project (study on fluoride), entitled “Epigenetic and non-epigenetic role of SIRT1 in fluoride-induced cell stress, and another is the K02 Independent Investigator Career Development research project, entitled “Health Effects of the Fluorinated Pollutants; PFAS on Enamel Development”.
