Christopher McCulloch is recognized internationally for his expertise in cell biology, particularly in the biology of oral tissues in health and disease. His contributions include major discoveries in intercellular functioning and cell matrix dynamics that impact on cardiology and cancer as well as oral disease. His rigorous approaches to clinical investigation have become a gold standard for clinical trials in institutions worldwide. With over 190 high impact peer-reviewed publications including 8 book chapters, he has made significant contributions to multiple fields including cell biology, cellular communication, cytoskeletal biology, with translation of his findings to clinical disease both oral and general.
