Biography

Dr Bettiol has more than 20 years of university teaching and medical research experience. She has been a member of the School of Medicine for several years, working in various roles in the area of medical microbiology and public health.

Following her PhD in Medical Sciences she completed three years of postdoctoral work at Yale University in the Department of Cell Biology using Toxoplasma gondii as a model for malaria research. This was followed by a year of postdoctoral work at the Laboratoire de Génétique Moléculaire, Inserm, Hopital Necker in Paris, identifying genes involved in rare hereditary renal diseases. This work led to a six-month internship with the WHO Human Genome Programme (HGN) in Geneva.

In 2009 she completed her Masters of Public Health at Curtin University that included a 6 month elective period with the Oxford Centre for Monitoring and Diagnosis in Primary Care (MaDOx), Department of Primary Care at the University of Oxford. She held a Senior Lecturer position and course coordinator role of the MPH program at the Department of Psychology, Social Work and Public Health, at Oxford Brookes University UK (2011-2014) before returning to Australia.

She has played a key role as course coordinator in developing the Master of Public Health and other Postgraduate courses at the School of Medicine and her appointment as Lecturer in Public Health and Communicable Diseases involves teaching undergraduate, master and doctoral levels.

Projects

General Practitioners barriers and facilitators to implementing clinical practice guidelines on oral health during pregnancy (2021)$4,649

Description: This study aims to identify the barriers and facilitators for general practitioners (GPs) to implementing the oral health guidelines during pregnancy using a theoretical framework grounded in behavioural theory.Results from this project will guide the development and implementation of an intervention strategy to increase the use of the Department of Health and Ageing Clinical Practice Guidelines (CPG) for managing oral health during pregnancy in General Practice. Two key messages from the CPG have been chosen to target for this study. One is to advise pregnant women to have their oral health checked and treatment initiated, if required. The other key message is to provide advice on oral health to pregnant women experiencing nausea and vomiting. GPs have been chosen as the best target stakeholder to implement the CPG given their pivotal role as a key antenatal care provider; they often represent the first and regular contact for pregnant women and can make referrals to other health care practitioners. In addition, existing research has focused on oral health education interventions for midwives only. Despite being the primary antenatal care providers for pregnant women, research on intervention strategies for GPs to promote evidence-based practice in oral health during pregnancy is very limited.

Developing a protocol to predicting health outcomes through oral microbes (2018)$9,917

Description: Older people in residential aged care are vulnerable to aspiration pneumonia, which is a primary reason for hospitalisation. Links have been drawn between this vulnerability and poor oral hygiene, prompting interventions in teeth cleaning. To determine the effectiveness of teeth-cleaning interventions objective measures are needed, such as microbiological testing. The goal of this study is to develop and validate a microbiological measure of effective oral hygiene to be used in a large-scale intervention targeting oral hygiene in residential aged care facilities.

Developing a robust laboratory protocol for analyzing oral swabs for pathogenic or key microbiological flora (2018)$8,122

Description: The aim of this subproject is to develop and validate a qPCR protocol for analysing solutions derived from swabs of oral tissue to quantify numbers and distribution of pathogenic bacterial species within a complex microbiological ecology. This protocol will later be used to determine the change in type and load of oral microorganisms following a period of daily oral hygiene.

Improving the Oral Health of Tasmanians in Residential Aged Care (2017)$28,336

Description: This project seeks to improve and maintain the oral health of people who move into residential aged care by providing an objective way to document they are receiving effective oral care. The project is a staff initiative. It is the result of a suggestion by staff at the Fred French and Peace Haven Homes of Masonic Care Tasmania, Inc. during their participation in a current federally-funded initiative with researchers at the University of Tasmania. The specific aim of the funded project is to decrease cases of aspiration pneumonia through testing the effectiveness of a new model of oral health care. Staff have suggested the value of adding an objective way to obtain and regularly analyse oral bacteria and this is the focus of the project we are presenting to the TCF.Residents in aged care are particularly vulnerable to aspiration pneumonia. This type of pneumonia is directly related to poor oral health. Poor oral health alters the type of bacteria growing in the mouth and throat. If residents have a swallowing problem (dysphagia), they are more likely to aspirate material into their lungs. If residents with dysphagia have poor oral health, they aspirate pathogenic bacteria and this greatly increases the likelihood of aspiration pneumonia, resulting in unplanned hospitalisations and death. In Australia, the cost burden of this acquired pneumonia has been estimated at more than $500 million each year. The funded model being evaluated has three essential components: (i)Increase staff knowledge with the support of a Community of Practice including residents, healthcare professionals, community members, residential community leaders, legislators (to bridge the practice-policy divide), and on-site supervised dental/oral health therapy, nursing, and medical students,(ii)Provide daily evidence-based oral care a 3-month period of 2-minutes of teeth cleaning after meals using timed electric or regular toothbrushes, or daily denture care. For residents who cannot adjust to the electric toothbrushes, staff are developing 2-minute strategies for using regular toothbrushes, e.g., brushing to a series of enjoyed and resident selected 2-minute recorded songs,(iii)Monitor compliance from their ongoing experience, staff have suggested the potential advantages of the proposed objective and regular analysis of oral bacteria.Increasing and maintaining residents oral health will decrease the load of pathogenic oral bacteria and thus decrease residents risk for developing aspiration pneumonia. Understanding the type of pathogenic oral bacteria that are associated with aspiration pneumonia and ill health will further support staff to provide daily oral care. Bacteria will be gathered from non-invasive swabs of tissue from residents gum, hard palate, cheek, and tongue. Results of these regular analyses will reinforce how effective oral care can reduce the clinical indications of aspiration pneumonia and ill health and the personal and economic consequences of unplanned transfers or admissions to hospital. This cost-effective model can then be easily implemented in any residential aged care community.

Detection of activated Tasmanian devil cytotoxic lymphocytes by a rapid RNA detection assay (2016)$34,999

Description: Monitoring the immune response of vaccinated Tasmanian devils requires analysis of cell mediated immunity .The current assays we use demonstrate killing of DFTD cells but fail to reveal cytotoxic cell activation and themeans of cell death. We plan incorporate a new assay that employs fluorescent in situ hybridisation andbranched DNA amplification technique for simultaneous measurement of RNA transcripts in single cells usingflow cytometry. The advantages of the proposed assay is that it provides a rapid and biologically relevantanalysis of fresh blood samples taken from Tasmanian devils and measures the activity level of these cellsequivalent to when they were in circulation. This will determine if cytotoxic cells are activated to induce targetcell death. We will be able to analyse key gene expression markers for activation such as IFN-gamma andLAMP-I.

Up-regulating MHC expression of DFTD cells in vivo by treating established tumours with imiquimod (2015)$28,000

Description: DFTD cells avoid immune recognition and destruction because they turn off important genes. Recent research discovered that imiquimod, a drug used to treat skin cancer, can turn on these genes. This project will determine if imiquimod makes DFTD cells visible to the Tasmanian devil's immune system, thereby inducing an immune response.
