Skeletal, Craniofacial and Oral Biology Graduate Program

Skeletal, Craniofacial and 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.
