Antonia Kolokythas

Dr. Kolokythas is an Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeon with fellowship training in oral /head and neck oncology and reconstruction. Her clinical and research interests focus on oral cancer and specifically early detection that significantly impacts on survival. For the last 3 years under Dr. Adami's guidance and in collaboration with Dr. Schwartz, her research has focused on gene expression analysis in oral squamous cell carcinoma in high risk population using RNA from brush cytology. It is her main interest to improve detection of early cancers and high risk oral pre-malignant lesions and employ non-invasive methods to study gene expression changes associated with these lesions.
