  • 1997-2001    B.A., Major in Biology, Minor in Environmental Science; Barnard College, Columbia University
  • 2003-2007    D.M.D., Harvard School of Dental Medicine
  • 2007-2010    M.D., Harvard Medical School
  • 2013-2016 Clinical Research Fellow, National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research, NIH
Dr. Burke’s clinical and research interests include the pathophysiology of skeletal diseases, such as fibro-osseous and giant cell lesions, osteonecrosis of the jaws and odontogenic tumors.  Her current research focuses on the molecular and genetic understanding of benign craniofacial fibro-osseous lesions.  She also helped to create the first Fibrous Dysplasia/McCune-Albright Syndrome Patient Registry.
