Overview
Background
Dr. Sandleen Feroz is a Lecturer in Restorative Dentistry at the School of Dentistry, The University of Queensland. As an interdisciplinary researcher, her expertise lies at the intersection of translational research in cariology, biomaterials, and regenerative medicine.
Drawing on her background in clinical dentistry, Dr. Feroz fosters deep collaborations with materials scientists, clinicians, and industry partners. Her work focuses on bridging the gap between laboratory innovation and chairside practice, specifically in developing minimally invasive restorative options that improve patient outcomes.
Dr. Feroz earned her doctorate from the University of Otago (New Zealand), for keratin extraction where she pioneered a novel, "green" route using ionic liquids to design advanced alveolar bone grafts. Her research portfolio includes the optimization of oral care formulations and the development of bioactive materials to prevent and arrest dental caries.
A globally connected academic, she maintains an active network of international collaborations with universities and research institutes across Asia and the Middle East. Dr. Feroz is also a dedicated medical educator with extensive experience in undergraduate and postgraduate teaching across Australia, New Zealand, and internationally.
