An Introduction to Tooth Pathology-Part 1
November 14, 2023 @ 17:30 – 18:30 IST
Despite our increasing knowledge of the genetic basis of many abnormalities of teeth, histological assessment still has a role to play in the diagnosis of these, often rare, conditions. Additionally, there are limited resources available for updates in this area which are relevant to the practice of an oral pathologist.
Lecture Objectives:
• Provide a brief overview of molecular aspects of tooth development.
• Cover aspects of the practicalities of dealing with teeth as pathological specimens
• Provide an overview of a range of developmental and acquired conditions affecting teeth

About the Speaker:
Prof. Keith Hunter is an esteemed histopathologist specializing in Molecular and Clinical Cancer Medicine at the University of Liverpool, UK, and Liverpool University NHS Foundation Trust. He embarked on his academic journey by completing a PhD at the CRUK Beatson Institute for Cancer Research in Glasgow and received clinical training at Glasgow Royal Infirmary. In 2009, he made a significant move to the University of Sheffield, where he established a pioneering research group. Their focus was on understanding the transcriptional changes occurring at different stages of oral precancer and cancer development, particularly delving into the control of cellular immortalization of keratinocytes and aspects of the tumor microenvironment.
In 2022, Professor Hunter further enriched his career by joining the Liverpool Head and Neck Centre. His academic contributions extend beyond the lecture hall, as he has authored over 120 peer-reviewed articles and made notable contributions to various books, including the 2022 WHO Classification of Tumours of the Head and Neck. He is also a co-author of the 5th edition of Soames and Southam’s Oral Pathology.
Professor Keith Hunter’s research laboratory primarily focuses on the tumor microenvironment in head and neck cancers, with a particular emphasis on oral cavity and oropharynx cancers. This includes a comprehensive exploration of the clinical pathology and biology of Potentially Malignant Disorders of the oral cavity, characterized by extensive collaborations and links to industry in this vital area of study.
