Our innovative, multidisciplinary research brings cutting-edge science to use in patient care.
Advancing Oral Health Research
Our scientists collaborate with clinicians and research teams worldwide. We work across multiple medical and dental disciplines to find new treatments. Our research advances the knowledge of oral health, biomaterials, cancer, pain and more.
The mission of the Health Science Center is to contribute to the broad body of basic and applied knowledge and perform research to increase our understanding of oral health and diseases.
The research currently being developed and pursued by the departments is essential in creating new knowledge that improves health and influences thoughtful advances based on research inputs to advance health policies and dental practice.
