Mervi Gürsoy awarded her
DDS degree by the University of Helsinki (1999), and then her PhD in periodontology (2012) as well as her qualification as a specialist in periodontology
(2013) from the University of Turku.
Her doctoral thesis was “Pregnancy and periodontium – A clinical,
microbiological, and enzymological approach via a longitudinal study”, and she has subsequently
co-authored various research articles relating to periodontology, oral
microbiology and pregnancy.
She has received the Young
Researcher award from the Scandinavian Society of Periodontology (2011), the
Hatton award (clinical research, senior category) from the IADR/ Scandinavian
division (NOF) (2011), the second prize of the Unilever/IADR Hatton award
(2012), and the IADR/Philips Oral Healthcare Young Investigator Research grant
(2013).
She reviews articles for
numerous scientific publications in the field of periodontology and oral
microbiology.
