Dentistry and Oral Health

Biography

Dr. Gaudilliere graduated from Stanford University with an undergraduate degree in Human Biology. She then completed her dental degree at Harvard School of Dental Medicine followed by a Hospital-based General Practice Residency at University of California, San Francisco. Her Master's Degree in Public Health was completed at the University of California, Berkeley. This was followed by a Clinical Instructorship in the Oral Medicine & Maxillofacial Surgery service at Stanford University Medical Center. Currently an attending Hospital Dentist and Dental Oncologist, Dr. Gaudilliere's clinical practice is focused on oral infection control and dentoalveolar surgery in medically complex populations, including patients with dentoalveolar trauma and those undergoing cardiac surgery, organ transplantation, or cancer therapy. Her research focuses on studying immunology to treat disease and improve outcomes, as well as studying oral surgical education techniques and implant ology. She has worked on several projects using Mass Cytometer (CyTOF) analysis of clinical samples, including immunology projects involving systems level analysis of immunological adaptations to pregnancy, which epidemiological studies show can be altered by oral disease. By studying the immunology of chronic periodontitis, she hopes to find meaningful links between the systemic immune changes caused by periodontal pathogens and complications such as cardiovascular disease and preterm birth.
