Ph.D. in Biomedical Science: Area of Concentration
Skeletal, Craniofacial & Oral Biology Graduate Program
 Skeletal,
Craniofacial & Oral Biology is the study of basic biological properties
related to skeletal, craniofacial and oral tissues. Trainees may enter
either a Ph.D. or combined Dental
Residency/Ph.D. Program or combined
D.M.D./Ph.D.
program. Research in Skeletal, Craniofacial and Oral Biology is
problem oriented and multidisciplinary, incorporating contemporary
research techniques of cellular and molecular biology, chemistry, and
physics. Among the topics currently investigated by faculty are: aging;
craniofacial and skeletal differentiation and development; craniofacial
physiology and neurophysiology; collagen structure, function and gene
regulation; cellular and molecular aspects of the pathogenesis of
inflammatory disease; bone and extracellular matrix structure,
regulation and function; and genetics and gene regulation.
