Research Interests / Professional Overview

Dr. Glotzer has been involved in two major areas of interest at the College. One is the paradigm shift in the approach to Caries from a surgical to a medical approach and to the understanding that caries is a bacterial infection caused by specific bacteria, and is a reversible multifactoral process.

The second is an initiative to define a role for dentists in a public health surge response to a major disaster situation. This includes being on the Dean's Committee for Catastrophe Response, involved in curriculum changes, developing an emergency management plan, seeking additional training opportunities and participation in a DHS grant with the School of Medicine.

Dr. Glotzer is a Mentor to new students and serves on the Committee on Academic Review and Standards at the College.
