Professional Activities
Dr. Jacqueline Mays is a clinical dentist, mucosal immunologist, and member of the University of Wisconsin Carbone Cancer Center. She is an Academic Fellow of the American Academy of Oral Medicine and is actively engaged with national research and patient advocacy organizations dedicated to improving outcomes for transplant survivors.
Before joining the University of Wisconsin, Dr. Mays completed postdoctoral training at the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) and a clinical research fellowship at the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research (NIDCR) within the National Institutes of Health Intramural Research Program and subsequently established an independent research program at the NIDCR.
Dr. Mays’ research focuses on immune regulation and tissue injury in the oral mucosa, skin, and exocrine tissues. Her laboratory investigates the mechanisms of immune dysregulation following allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation, with particular emphasis on chronic graft-versus-host disease (cGVHD). The group also studies how emerging therapies function at target tissues to improve treatment outcomes for patients with cGVHD.
Clinically, Dr. Mays specializes in the diagnosis and management of inflammatory and immune-mediated diseases of the oral cavity, particularly in transplant recipients. Her practice focuses on oral complications of transplantation, chronic graft-versus-host disease, recurrent aphthous stomatitis, oral lichen planus, and other disorders of the oral mucosa.
Since 2006, Dr. Mays has maintained continuous NIH research funding and collaborates with pharmaceutical partners, national research networks, and multidisciplinary clinical teams to accelerate the development of new therapies for patients with cGVHD.
