Research summary
AI-generated

Kevin Moss conducts research at the intersection of oral health and broader medical outcomes, with a particular focus on periodontitis (gum disease) and dental caries (cavities). Much of the work links oral health conditions to systemic diseases such as stroke, lung cancer, and cerebral small vessel disease, and includes genetic studies of periodontal disease. The publication record also includes collaborative work in obstetrics, gynecology, and urogynecology, often applying statistical and epidemiological analysis.

Collaborators per year
Distinct co-authors at Indiana University each year — a rough indication of whether the group around this researcher has been growing or contracting. An estimate from co-authorship, not a roster: collaborators are not necessarily lab members, and recent years can be under-counted while indexing catches up.
