Mojdeh Mansoori is a Postdoctoral Researcher at the Section for Orofacial Pain and Jaw Function, Department of Dentistry and Oral Health, Aarhus University. In September 2026, she defended her PhD on early-life risk factors and multidimensional clinical characterization of painful temporomandibular disorders (TMD) and headache, using data from the Danish National Birth Cohort. She now investigates epigenetic mechanisms underlying vulnerability to painful TMD.
Early-life risk factors, epidemiology, and clinical phenotyping of painful temporomandibular disorders (TMD) and headache; epigenetic mechanisms, including genome-wide DNA methylation, underlying pain vulnerability; prospective cohort studies within the Danish National Birth Cohort.
Teaches oral physiology and orofacial pain and jaw function in the preclinical dental curriculum, Department of Dentistry and Oral Health, Aarhus University (2022 present, 150+ hours). Previously lectured in Oral Medicine for undergraduate dental students at Kashan University of Medical Sciences, Iran (2017-2018).
Collaborates with Prof. Lene Baad-Hansen and Assoc. Prof. Bodil Hammer Bech (Aarhus University) and Prof. Luda Diatchenko (McGill University) on epigenetic and life-course analyses of painful TMD, integrating epidemiological, clinical, and biological data from the Danish National Birth Cohort.
As a Postdoctoral Researcher, Mojdeh leads the project "Life-course and epigenetic analyses of painful temporomandibular disorders", with Prof. Lene Baad-Hansen and Assoc. Prof. Bodil Hammer Bech (Aarhus University) and Prof. Luda Diatchenko (McGill University). She examines how fetal exposure, childhood diet, and adolescent lifestyle relate to painful TMD, and teaches oral physiology and orofacial pain and jaw function in the preclinical dental curriculum.
