Dr Angela Nobbs is a Senior Lecturer in Oral Microbiology within Bristol Dental School. Her research interests focus on the mechanisms by which Streptococcus bacteria are able to colonize and cause disease within the human host. These include determining the molecular basis of streptococcal interactions with other members of the oral microbiota, such as the fungus Candida albicans, and with host epithelial and endothelial cells, in terms of adherence/invasion, biofilm formation and modulation of cell signalling responses. Other major themes of her research are exploring the link between oral bacteria and cardiovascular disease, and collaborating with materials scientists to develop novel antimicrobial materials for use in medical devices.
