Professor David Williams (DW) is Head of the Oral and Biomedical Sciences research theme in the School of Dentistry at Cardiff University. DW is also a principle investigator within the Microbial Diseases Research Group, where his studies primarily focus on microbial biofilms and their association with human infection. Over 65% of hospital infections have a biofilm origin and the treatment of these infections is highly problematic given their high resistance to antimicrobials. As such, biofilm research is extremely important and also timely, given global concerns over the emergence of antimicrobial resistance (AMR). To facilitate his research, DW has expertise in biofilm modelling, profiling microbial communities and analysis of microbial gene expression. Ongoing research projects involve the study of the oral microbiome and its relationship with cardiovascular health, assessing how the biofilm environment modulates behavior and virulence of associated opportunistic pathogens, and how oral biofilms may contribute to respiratory infections.

Sabina Floridia, Igienista Dentale, nata il 16 aprile 1973 ad Amsterdam (NL) Italo-Olandese. Si diploma nel 1997 presso la SOM/ACTA di Amsterda. Qui nasce la passione per la prevenzione e per l’importanza di trasferire la motivazione ai propri pazienti. Due pilastri fondamentali per tutta l’odontoiatria. Dopo aver lavorato presso vari studi dentistici in Olanda e Sud-America, si trasferisce nel 2004 a Bergamo dove tutt’ora risiede e lavora.
La passione per la prevenzione porta Sabina Floridia a ideare un progetto d’igiene gratuito per le scuole che include anche una divertente canzone e un e-book dedicato.
Con il passare degli anni scopre anche il desiderio di voler motivare oltre ai pazienti anche i colleghi, per trasmettere loro la passione attraverso un mindset positivo per la professione. Nasce così la collaborazione con un “ArtTerapist” e decide di frequentare il corso di life-coach. Insieme tengono la prima online challenge per igienisti dentali per trovare, ritrovare o confermare la passione per la professione.
Nel 2018 viene contattata dal team Prevention One dell’azienda multinazionale svizzera Curaden AG per testare l’App BOB e da inizio 2019 fa ufficialmente parte del team come Prevention One Specialist per l’Europa e Sud-Africa. Questo si rivela un incarico perfetto per unire tutte le sue passioni, quali prevenzione, motivazione, creatività e mindset. Come relatrice internazionale, si occupa di training attraverso corsi teorico-pratici formando professionisti del settore odontoiatrico di tutto il mondo ad utilizzare ed integrare l’App BOB durante la seduta d’igiene professionale.
Ama il suo lavoro, grazie al quale riesce a trasmettere, oltre alla passione, la sua esperienza clinica con colleghi di tutto il mondo.

Marc Y. Donath is Head of the Clinic for Endocrinology, Diabetes and Metabolism at the University Hospital of Basel, and Research Dean at the University of Basel. He has made numerous contributions to our understanding of the pathogenesis of type 2 diabetes, his most important being the identification of an inflammatory process underlying failure of insulin production in this disease. Thereby he showed that metabolic stress induces an IL-1β mediated immune response. He confirmed this hypothesis in the first clinical study showing that modulation of the immune system may improve metabolism in patients with type 2 diabetes. His work has fundamentally contributed to the concept that the innate immune system is an integral component in the regulation of metabolism, i.e. immunometabolism.
