Gregory Murray

Biography

Dr. GREGORY MURRAY is currently working as a Professor in the Department of Department of Dentistry, University of Sydney , Australia. His research interests includes Professor Murray guides a small group of Master’s and PhD degree students who conduct research on orofacial motor control and orofacial pain. One set of projects involves studies of jaw muscle electromyographic (EMG) activity in relation to normal jaw movement in human subjects. Using fine-wire electrodes he has recorded data on the EMG activity of hard-to-access deeper jaw muscles (including the lateral pterygoid muscle). The team is now investigating the largely-unstudied medial pterygoid muscle in relation to normal jaw movement, with preliminary data indicating this may be an important and much-used muscle in movements beyond clenching of the jaw, including for speech and fine movement. Recently studies have investigated the effects of resistance exercises of the jaw on jaw muscle coordination.. He /she is serving as an editorial member and reviewer of several international reputed journals. Dr. GREGORY MURRAY is the member of many international affiliations. He/ She has successfully completed his Administrative responsibilities. He /she has authored of many research articles/books related to Professor Murray guides a small group of Master’s and PhD degree students who conduct research on orofacial motor control and orofacial pain.
