Mabel Noemí Brunotto is an Argentine researcher with a degree in biology. Throughout her career, Brunotto has carried out both teaching and research and development work at the faculty of dentistry.
Among her investigations, her most notable contributions are related to oral health, mouth cancer, and genetic mutations. In the field of medicine, especially dentistry, Brunotto is one of the Argentine researchers conducting studies in that area.
Brunotto and her scientific training
In addition to her background in biology, Brunotto continued to specialize in the health field. She holds a master’s degree in applied statistics, understood as the application of statistics in other fields such as medicine. After completing her master’s, the researcher earned a doctorate in health sciences and a master’s degree in public health.
After her training, Brunotto became closely linked to the faculty of dentistry, which belongs to the National University of Córdoba. There, the Argentine biologist works both as a tenured professor and as a researcher.
Throughout her professional career, Brunotto has published various scientific articles. Among the topics covered, the Argentine biologist conducts studies on cell biology and oral leukoplakia, which is understood as the presence of white areas in the mouth.
She also carries out research on oral varices, which appear as blue or purple spots, and other medical conditions.
Regarding her research, Brunotto focuses on oral pathology and epidemiology.
Oral pathology is a discipline within dentistry responsible for the study of diseases that occur in the oral cavity, among others.
This branch of dentistry deals with the identification and treatment of diseases that affect the mouth and its surrounding areas.
Epidemiology, for its part, can be defined by its relationship with public health, as it is responsible for the study of diseases that exist in human populations.
In addition to her published scientific articles, Brunotto is also the author and co-author of books related to cell biology and its connection to dentistry, health sciences, and human tooth embryology.
Genetic variation and oral cancer
Within the framework of the faculty of dentistry of the National University of Córdoba, Brunotto conducts research aimed at establishing a protocol and prediction rules for precancerous or cancerous oral lesions.
Together with colleagues, the Argentine biologist carries out the study using statistical tools in order to generate information about oral cancer.
The development of the research allows the conclusion that the TP53 gene is an indicator of oral cancer and its progression.
The study represents an advance in relation to oral cancer, as it makes it possible to establish prevention rules and therefore predict risk.
Oral cancer
In addition to her work as a professor and her numerous published scientific articles, Brunotto also participates in various congresses and scientific meetings.
Among them, the Argentine biologist takes part in scientific events related to oral cancers, pediatric dentistry, and dental research.
As for dental research, it can focus on oral cancers. Oral cancer can develop in any part of the mouth, and its associated risk factors include smoking and alcohol consumption, among others.
Since the cure rate for oral cancer is high when detected early, various research teams aim to focus their studies on early detection to prevent its progression.
In Argentina, specifically in the province of Buenos Aires, the Ministry of Health carried out prevention activities related to this type of cancer.
These activities aimed to provide information to the community about the disease, as well as to promote oral health and its importance within the field of medicine.
The goal of these actions was to raise awareness about oral cancer and the factors that increase its risk, as well as to extend the prevention campaign to the population.
Within the country, Brunotto stands out as one of the researchers making contributions to the field of medicine, specifically within the area of dentistry.
The studies carried out by the Argentine biologist link oral cancer, prediction models, and applied statistics.
Through her research, Brunotto generates information about oral pathology and the various issues related to it.
