Paula Mochidome Yamaguti

Dr. Paula M. Yamaguti holds a D.D.S. from Universidade Paulista (1998) and a Ph.D. in Oral Biochemistry from the Universidade de São Paulo (2008), as well as having completed post-doctoral studies at the University of Western Ontario (UWO) in London, Ontario, Canada (2010). Her doctorate studied the oxidative stress responses of salivary glands of rats when induced by fluoride exposure. In 2009, Dr. Yamaguti was awarded an International Post-Doctoral Research Fellow (PDRF) grant from the Government of Canada (DFAIT). Her post-doctoral work at UWO studied protein-protein interactions in saliva, which led to her participation in non-dentistry research identifying preeclampsia biomarkers in placenta (2009-2010). She has experience with topics including: saliva, salivary glands, fluoride, oxidative stress, diabetes, salivary protein complexes, biochemical analysis.
