Rate My Professor Selwin Samuel

Samuel's research interests encompass oral-systemic inflammation, particularly the interplay between oral health and systemic immune responses in chronic conditions, as well as forensic odontology involving human identification via dental records, bite mark analysis, and dental age estimation techniques. His publications include 'A glucocorticoid spike derails muscle repair to heterotopic ossification after spinal cord injury' in Cell Reports Medicine (2024, co-authored with Kylie A. Alexander et al.); 'Interleukin-6 does not contribute to neurogenic heterotopic ossification pathogenesis' in Neurotrauma Reports (2024); 'Bacterial Lipopolysaccharides Exacerbate Neurogenic Heterotopic Ossification Development' in Journal of Bone and Mineral Research (2023); 'Reliability of London atlas for dental age estimation in an Australian cohort' in International Journal of Legal Medicine (2025); and 'Validation and comparison of Blenkin Taylor Atlas and the London Atlas on an Australian population subset for dental age estimation' (2026). Additional works cover inflammasomes in bone homeostasis (2022), facial psychophysiology in forensics (2020), and dental age estimation studies (2018). He received runner-up for the 2023 Biomedical HDR Prize at the Mater Research Showcase, Faculty of Medicine, University of Queensland, and the Mater Research International Travel Award in 2022. Samuel's multidisciplinary contributions advance understanding of bone pathology post-trauma and forensic dental applications.
