Dr. Sowmya Reddy - MicroRNA - Research Innovation Award🏆

SRM University - India

Professional Profiles

Early Academic Pursuits

She embarked on her academic journey with a Bachelor of Dental Surgery from St. Joseph Dental College, Eluru, under the esteemed NTR University. She displayed a keen interest in periodontology and oral implantology, which eventually led her to pursue a Masters in Dental Surgery (MDS) specializing in Periodontology and Oral Implantology at S.R.M. Dental College, Ramapuram, Chennai, affiliated with SRM University. Her thirst for knowledge extended beyond the conventional curriculum, as evidenced by her enrollment in a PG Diploma program in Forensic Odontology at the Sherlock Institute of Forensic Sciences, Delhi. This diverse academic background equipped her with a holistic understanding of dentistry, blending clinical expertise with forensic insights.

Professional Endeavors

During her postgraduate tenure at SRM Dental College, she actively engaged in research and clinical practice within the department of periodontology. She honed her skills in various pre-prosthetic and periodontal surgical procedures, including crown lengthening, ridge augmentation, and laser-assisted gingival depigmentation. Her commitment to clinical excellence extended to her role as a senior resident at GGH, Kakinada, where she gained invaluable experience in patient care and management. Additionally, her one-year rotary internship at St. Joseph Dental College further enriched her clinical acumen, laying a solid foundation for her professional journey.

Contributions and Research Focus in MicroRNA

Driven by a passion for advancing the field of periodontology, her research endeavors have centered on exploring innovative approaches to enhance dental treatment outcomes. Her research focus spans key areas such as gene regulation, RNA interference, biomarker discovery, and therapeutic targets. Through meticulous experimentation and scholarly inquiry, she aims to unravel the intricate mechanisms underlying periodontal diseases and explore novel therapeutic interventions, with a particular emphasis on the role of microRNA in disease pathogenesis and treatment response. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small, non-coding RNA molecules that play crucial roles in the post-transcriptional regulation of gene expression. Despite their small size, microRNAs wield significant influence over various cellular processes by modulating the expression of target genes. This regulation occurs primarily through complementary base pairing with the 3' untranslated region (UTR) of target messenger RNA (mRNA), leading to mRNA degradation or translational repression.

Accolades and Recognition

Her dedication to academic excellence and research innovation has earned her widespread recognition within the dental community. Her notable achievement includes securing the 3rd prize (consolation prize) for her paper presentation on "Guided bone regeneration using sticky bone and implant stabilized titanium mesh with coronally advanced lingual flap extension Technique - A case report" at the 2nd ISPRP virtual conference held at Vishnu Dental College, Bhimavaram in 2022. This accolade underscores her expertise in advanced periodontal therapies and highlights her commitment to scholarly dissemination.

Impact and Influence

As an emerging leader in the field of periodontology, her contributions extend beyond the confines of academic research. Her clinical proficiency and scholarly achievements inspire fellow dental professionals and aspiring clinicians to push the boundaries of conventional treatment modalities. Through her active involvement in professional affiliations such as the Dental Council of India and the Indian Society of Periodontology, she fosters collaboration and knowledge exchange, enriching the collective understanding of periodontal diseases and their management strategies.
