-Independent research project assessing whether the mechanism behind antimicrobial properties of Au(III)-titanate against cariogenic bacteria is prevention of adhesion to surfaces- Assessed the expression of specific adhesion genes, physical adhesion of bacteria to polystyrene surfaces, and whether the bacteria could gain resistance against Au(III)-titanate-Publication was achieved showing there is an effect on adhesion genes-This suggests that using metal titanates in dental materials could reduce the incidence of recurrent caries, clean periodontal pockets more effectively, and reduce white spot lesions

-Independent research project measuring the effects of amyloid beta peptides on the growth of fibroblast cells in the context of Alzheimer disease research-Publication was achieved showing that in small doses, amyloid beta has a proliferative effect on fibroblast cells-This suggests that amyloid beta is a conserved peptide because it plays an active role in mitosis
