About George N Belibasakis. Prof. Belibasakis is the Head of Section of Oral Microbiology and Immunology at the Center of Dental Medicine, University of Zürich, Switzerland. He studied Dentistry at the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, Greece (1999), attained a PhD in Oral Microbiology at Umeå University, Sweden (2004), an MSc in Periodontology at Queen Mary University of London (QMUL), UK (2009), and a Postgraduate Certificate in Academic Practice, also at QMUL (2009). He worked as post-doctoral research associate at King's College London Dental Institute (2005), and as a Lecturer in Oral Biology at QMUL (2005–2009), before his recruitment at the Center of Dental Medicine of the University of Zürich, Switzerland (2009). During this time, he completed his Habilitation (Venia Legendi) in Oral Microbiology and Immunology (2012), and was appointed Professor in the same discipline, at the Medical Faculty of the University of Zürich (2014). He has authored more than 80 peer-reviewed publications, and reviewed manuscripts for more than 70 different dental and biomedical journals. His editorial duties include being Associate Editor for BMC Microbiology and BMC Infectious Diseases, and Editorial Board member for Journal of Dental Research, Archives of Oral Biology, Molecular Oral Microbiology, Journal of Oral Microbiology, Clinical Oral Implants Research, Oral Health and Preventive Dentistry, Microbial Pathogenesis and Virulence. He is the Guest-Editor of the present Special Focus issue in “Oral Infections.” In 2012 he received the prestigious “Anthony Rizzo Young Investigator Award” of the International Association for Dental Research (IADR). He is a member of the IADR since his time as an undergraduate dental student, and has developed a strong commitment in its activities ever since. As an educator he teaches in undergraduate and postgraduate dental curricula, and supervises research theses at Bachelors, Masters and Doctoral levels. As Head of the Section of Oral Microbiology and Immunology, he is responsible for managing the group's administrative tasks, educational and research activities. His research expertise lies in the microbial etiology and inflammatory pathogenesis of oral diseases, with a particular focus in periodontal and peri-implant infections. Experimental host-microbe interaction models are the primeline of his research in etiopathogenesis, complemented by clinical studies aiming at identifying host and microbial markers for early disease diagnosis, and links between oral infection and systemic inflammation.
