I’m very pleased to invite my network to an upcoming webinar I’ll be presenting with our colleagues at Porex Filtration Group: “Optimizing DNA Yield in Self-Collected Samples Through Advanced Materials.” This free 60-minute webinar will take place on Tuesday, March 17, 2026 at 12 PM EDT / 4 PM GMT / 5 PM CET.

As non-invasive and self-collected sampling continues to expand across diagnostics and clinical research, the quality of collection materials plays a major role in analyte yield, purity, transport stability, and overall assay reliability. In this session, we’ll discuss how material engineering can improve biomolecule recovery and support more reliable downstream molecular analysis.

We’ll also explore how these principles apply across important applications, including vaginal self-collection for HPV testing and saliva-based diagnostics, with relevance to exosome enrichment, RNA preservation, and broader non-invasive sample collection workflows.

I’ll be joined by Ellen Weinzapfel, PhD, Global Marketing Manager at Porex Filtration Group, and together we hope to share practical insights for scientists, engineers, R&D teams, and innovation leaders working to improve sample quality and biomolecule recovery.

If your work touches molecular diagnostics, self-collection devices, saliva-based testing, or advanced sample collection technologies, I’d be delighted to have you join us. I hope to see many of you there.

A single drop of saliva may soon help unlock earlier detection of neurological disorders such as Parkinson’s disease, epilepsy, and schizophrenia. That is a powerful reminder of where diagnostics is heading: toward non-invasive, accessible, and high-impact testing. Recent research from Korea reports a saliva-based platform that identified these disorders with accuracy above 90% in their study cohort, by analyzing structural changes in proteins rather than relying on more invasive testing methods.

This is exactly why the future of saliva diagnostics is so exciting.

At Oasis Diagnostics and also , we believe saliva is far more than a convenient sample type with neurological disease testing very much within our sights. The real value of this “golden biofluid” comes from enabling reliable, practical collection that can support meaningful downstream analysis. As more researchers and innovators push the boundaries of what saliva can reveal, the importance of a high-quality, consistent oral fluid specimen only grows.

The promise is not just easier collection.
It is better access, earlier insight, and more patient-friendly diagnostics.

Oasis is proud to be part of the broader movement advancing saliva-based testing and helping make oral fluid collection more dependable for the next generation of diagnostic applications.

I am still feeling incredibly grateful and glowing internally after the recent Denobi Awards. 🏆

Being recognized alongside this group of amazing thought leaders—people who are building, serving, innovating, and raising the standard of dentistry in real time—was for me overwhelmingly, the best part of the evening.

Awards are never “solo” efforts- they reflect teamwork, mentorship, collaborations, significant investments in time and interaction with the community as a whole to push the work forward. So to everyone who has supported our mission and challenged us to make continuous improvements: we thank you. 🙏

And to my fellow Denobi Award winners in this photo—congratulations. It’s an honor to be present in the same room with you, you are all extraordinary innovators and teachers that I am proud to be now associated with.

What I’d be curious about learning is the one aspect that excites you about dentistry right now— is it innovation in our field, education, prevention, access to care, technology advancement, diagnostics, or some other aspect? 👇

Last Saturday night, at the National Mobile & Teledentistry Conference, I experienced one of those moments that completely stops you in your tracks.

At the Denobi Awards—in a room of ~150 leaders from across the dental world—I was honored to receive a prestigious and coveted Denobi Award for “Making Outstanding Contributions to the Field of Dentistry.”

It was a “wow” moment and from the bottom of my heart, I’m deeply honored—and to be perfectly honest, surprised. What it does for me is make me feel emotional in the best possible way: the things we’ve been working on for almost 24 years now are being recognized by our peers in the dental world. In speaking with other recipients, I think that many of the Denobi Award recipients that night share that same feeling.

What made the evening especially meaningful wasn’t just the recognition—it was being surrounded by people who are building, serving, innovating, and raising the standard of dentistry in real time. The stories behind the work—the pivots, the setbacks, the perseverance—were a powerful reminder that real impact is built over time, and always through community.

I’d like to sincerely thank Melissa Turner and Dr. Sonya Dunbar (co-organizers of both the NMTC and the Denobi Awards) for nominating me and presenting me with this wonderful and prestigious award—and for creating a space that celebrates service, leadership, and legacy in dentistry. And thank you to everyone who reached out, shared kind words, and continues to push our profession forward. I met so many wonderful people at the NMTC and Denobi awards events that I will remember permanently.

🧪 Saliva is a diagnostic goldmine… but it’s also a moving target.

A recent NPR [National Public Radio] piece highlights why saliva testing is so exciting (cavities, infections, even oral cancer) — and why it can be tricky to scale: saliva is “always in flux.” It can shift after brushing, eating, drinking, or smoking, and it varies from person to person.

That “variability problem” is exactly why specimen collection matters as much as the assay.

At Oasis, our focus is the front end: helping teams get a more consistent, fit-for-purpose saliva specimen by reducing common interfering factors that can drive variability — so downstream testing has a better shot at being reliable in real-world settings (clinics, research, field collection).

Because the future isn’t just more saliva tests…
It’s saliva tests that are repeatable, scalable, and trustworthy. ✅
