Dr. Renan Dal Fabbro is a Postdoctoral Research Fellow in the Department of Cariology Restorative Sciences and Endodontics at the University of Michigan School of Dentistry. He earned his DDS in 2014 followed by a Master’s degree and residency in Dental Sciences in 2017 and completed his PhD in Dental Sciences in 2021 at São Paulo State University in Brazil. During his graduate studies, Dr. Dal Fabbro conducted in‐depth investigations into the development and progression of endodontic and periodontal diseases examining their systemic health implications and the influence of patient habits on disease outcomes.
In his postdoctoral work, Dr. Dal Fabbro investigates innovative engineering‐based approaches to dental tissue regeneration employing stem cells and biomaterials to restore structure and function. His current projects include elucidating the mechanisms by which synthetic high‐density lipoprotein (sHDL) modulates inflammatory pathways in endodontic and periodontal disease and designing and optimizing biomimetic scaffolds for targeted regenerative therapies aiming to translate novel biomaterials into effective clinical treatments for dental tissue repair.
