Professor in Oral Medicine, Infection, and Immunity, Harvard School of Dental Medicine. Presently, Dr. Paster’s research focuses in three major areas. The first involves the microbiome of adolescents who were perinatally-infected with HIV. The second involves an ongoing study on the progression of periodontal disease. The last area involves a new interest in looking at the impact of circadian rhythm on the oral microbiome. Such studies will help decipher relations between the microbiome, the immune system, and the circadian clock—all important players in human health. These data may provide new treatments regimens that focus on circadian rhythm. He has more than 200 articles published.
