About:
Dr Alarag is an Assistant Professor, dentist and researcher, specialized in Oral sciences. Dr Alarag has performed her postgraduate study in the field of “Medical digital technology” for aim of descriptive anatomy, histology and diagnostics.
Dr Alarag had her Degree in Philosophy in Cell and Tissue Engineering with thesis title: Using dental stem cells as a trojan horse for delivery of drugs and treatment of diseases.
My research project is devoted to the potential clinical application of dental stem cells as anticancer drug carriers to target cancers, especially oral cancers.
Application of dental pulp stem cells for targeted drug delivery is an alternative option to reduce the therapy-associated morbidity and to increase the efficacy of systemic treatments. Supported by their high adaptability and maintained migration and penetration ability with drug priming and their regenerative and therapeutic effects, dental stem cells can be used for high variety of promising applications.​
