Clifford J. Beall studies the community of microorganisms that live in the mouth, including bacteria, fungi, and viruses, and how this 'oral microbiome' relates to dental disease, tooth decay, and HIV. His work combines DNA sequencing techniques with microbial culturing to identify new species and understand how oral microbial communities form and change over time. This research is relevant to students interested in microbiology, genomics, and how microbial communities affect dental and overall health.
