Daniel Kadouri

Dr. Daniel E. Kadouri has contributed extensively to the field of oral biology, particularly in understanding the complex interactions between biofilms and predatory prokaryotes. As an Associate Professor at Rutgers School of Dental Medicine, he brings a wealth of knowledge and expertise to his research and teaching. Dr. Kadouri's academic journey began at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem, where he earned a Bachelor of Science in Biology and Agriculture, followed by a Master of Science in Virology, and culminating in a Ph.D. Dr. Kadouri's research is primarily centered on the biology of Micavibrio spp. and Bdellovibrio spp., two predatory bacteria with significant potential in biofilm degradation and antimicrobial applications. His work aims to unravel the mechanisms underlying predator-prey interactions, which could lead to innovative approaches in combating bacterial infections and biofilm-related issues. By isolating novel antimicrobial and biofilm-degrading compounds from bacteria and biofilms, Dr. Kadouri's research holds promise for developing new therapeutic strategies. In addition to his research endeavors, Dr. Kadouri is actively involved in mentoring students and fostering a collaborative research environment. His dedication to advancing the field of oral biology is evident in his numerous publications and presentations at national and international conferences. Through his work, Dr. Kadouri continues to make significant contributions to the understanding of bacterial interactions and the development of novel antimicrobial agents. Dr. Kadouri's commitment to scientific excellence and innovation has earned him recognition within the academic community. His research not only enhances our understanding of microbial dynamics but also paves the way for practical applications in medicine and dentistry. As he continues to explore the fascinating world of biofilms and predatory bacteria, Dr. Kadouri remains at the forefront of research in oral biology and microbiology.
