Presenter
Dr. El-Awady is an Associate Professor in the Department of Periodontics at the Dental College of Georgia, Augusta University. Dr. El-Awady holds several academic qualifications, including Diplomate status from the American Board of Periodontology, a Ph.D. in Oral Biology and Maxillofacial Pathology, and a Ph.D. in Periodontology and Oral Medicine. He also serves as the Acting Director of Advanced Education in Periodontics Program and the Chair of the DCG Faculty Senate. His commitment to bridging basic science and clinical practice defines his research philosophy. Dr. El-Awady’s laboratory investigates the role of the oral consortium in xenophagy inhibition and inflammasome signaling within dendritic cells, myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) prevalence, and its role in periodontitis. Beyond the lab, Dr. El-Awady is a trailblazer in clinical research in periimplantitis, crown lengthening, and NSAID effects on implants. In addition, his team recently completed a significant three-year clinical trial evaluating pharmacogenomics in personalized prescriptions during periodontal surgeries—a pioneering effort in dental schools nationwide. He and his team’s collaborative and innovative approach aims to continue participation in the field of periodontics, benefiting patients and students.
