Peptide Enabled Tunable Restorative Interface – Grant # R56 DE032903

  • Principal Investigator: Candan Tamerler, PhD
  • Sponsor: NIH
  • Period: 09/01/2023-08/31/2024
  • Goal: To engineer multifunctional peptide-polymer adhesives that work synergistically with SDF to arrest caries and promote tooth remineralization, while inhibiting the stigmatizing side effect of black staining.

Supramolecular nanofibers for recombinant growth factor-free spine fusion – Grant #5 R01 AR072721 (60050309 USC)

  • Principal Investigator: Malcolm L. Snead, D.D.S, Ph.D.
  • Sponsor: National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases
  • Period: 07/12/2018-04/30/2024
  • Goal: To develop a highly effective strategy to regenerate bone using recombinant growth factor-free bioactive nanoscale materials, suitable to spine fusion and other orthopaedic applications. The nanofiber scaffold developed in this work will be used either on its own or in combination with bone marrow stromal cells (BMSC) rather than with recombinant growth factor. Such an approach could obviate the need for recombinant factors, thereby providing a safer and more effective therapeutic strategy for bone regeneration in spinal fusion and other orthopaedic applications.

Multispecies biofilm for investigate non-antibiotic therapies in dentistry (MISFAITH) – Project Number: 015562-00001

  • Principal Investigator: Malcolm L. Snead, D.D.S, Ph.D.
  • Sponsor: The Research Council of Norway, University of Oslo
  • Period: 09/01/2022-08/31/2027
  • Goal: This project is to provide knowledge and laboratory advances including several nano-biotechnologies to address peri-implant disease. These include identification and refinement of small peptides (6-10 amino acids) that demonstrate high affinity and selectivity for binding to the atomic face of titanium and Ti-alloys used in implants. Titanium binding peptides (TiBP) can be chemically synthesized and can be made to include a second bioactive molecule, producing a bifunctional peptide, that binds only to the implant surface to deliver a bioactive signal to the host.
