About the company:
We are developing the next generation oral care for gums and soft tissues to complement brushing for whole mouth health. Our product is based on a natural biopolymer complex that works non-invasively to disrupt biofilm, reduce bleeding and inflammation.
It is specially designed to be gentle on the gum, easy to use after brushing or use alone as on-the-go application for early intervention and proactive care of gum disease. It also promotes oral microbiome balance through physical means without anti-microbial agents.
We are sincerely seeking help and collaboration from academic research institutes to further explore the potential applications of our biopolymer complex in oral care and clinical validation of our first product for Gingivitis.
Describe the project.:
- Evaluate the effect of the natrual oral gel on the oral microbiome using in vitro methods and compare it with at least one existing oral care products on the market
- Set up the protocol for efficient in vitro testing of the effects of our oral gel formulations on oral microbiome including both commonsal and pathogetic ones;
- Perfom the tests using our oral gel formulations and at least one supplied brand names;
- Analyze and report the observations and findings
Required expertise/skills:
Oral microbiology knowledge required; microbiology testing methods and skills; oral and systemic health relationship knowledge.
Optional: medical background for chronic disease associated with oral microbiome.
