Research Interests / Professional Overview:
Dr. Russell has been on the faculty of NYUCD since 1996, when she came to New York following her training in public health, periodontics and geriatrics at the University of Connecticut Health Center. She was granted a four-year leave of absence in 2000, and returned to NYUCD in 2004 after receiving a PhD in epidemiology from Yale University.
Her primary areas of interest are the oral health of women and the elderly and the relationship between systemic and oral health, including HIV infection and pneumonia. In addition, her areas of research include social determinants of oral health, and predictors of research participation among minorities.
Dr. Russell currently teaches in the undergraduate dental clinics, and lectures extensively on topics related to the epidemiology of periodontal disease to the dental and dental hygiene students. In addition, she is course director for Review of Clinical Trial Protocols for the MS in Clinical Research Program and serves as Director of the Summer Research Program for incoming Dental and Nursing Students.
