The Role

This Bradlaw Fellowship is a highly prestigious postdoctoral opportunity focused on delivering ENHANCE D+, a major follow on programme building directly on the NIHR-funded ENHANCE D trial, one of the largest and potentially most influential trials ever undertaken in UK primary dental care.

The fellow will address key post trial research priorities through four linked work packages: an updated systematic review incorporating ENHANCE D data; secondary analyses examining socioeconomic and demographic inequalities in cessation outcomes; focused laboratory studies using validated in vitro gingival and epithelial models to investigate inflammatory and cytotoxic responses relevant to trial findings; and the development and evaluation of an evidence based training resource for the dental team. The laboratory component draws on unique infrastructure and established modelling approaches to generate mechanistic insight that cannot be obtained from clinical ...
