He has served as curriculum director for undergraduate Periodontics didactic\/clinical program, as well as the Periodontics residency program director. In addition to didactic and clinical teaching responsibilities, he is engaged in basic research involving unique bacterial-host interactions in periodontal disease and related systemic diseases. His work has characterized structural and biological properties of phosphorylated dihydroceramides, and more recently, his lab has characterized novel serine\/glycine lipids produced by the periodontal pathogen, Porphyromonas gingivalis, and other members of the Bacteroidetes phylum. Characterization of these lipid classes utilized a variety of analytical chemical approaches. The biological properties of these lipids are relevant to periodontal diseases as well as autoimmune and chronic inflammatory diseases including atherosclerosis. .<strong><br \/><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n<p>Abstract:<br><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u00a0 Dr. Frank Nichols\u00a0Division of Periodontology, University of Connecticut Dr. Frank Nichols, DDS, PhD, is Professor in the Division of Periodontology of the [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-5291","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-info"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/eas.org\/2024\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5291"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/eas.org\/2024\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/eas.org\/2024\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eas.org\/2024\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eas.org\/2024\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5291"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/eas.org\/2024\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5291\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/eas.org\/2024\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5291"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eas.org\/2024\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=5291"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eas.org\/2024\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=5291"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
