Research
Our Commitment to Academic Inquiry
Scientific research is an essential part of our mission. We provide many ways for our researchers to carry out their work, such as organizing pioneering studies on oral and craniofacial diseases and development. In addition, the work has led to dental biomaterial improvements, craniofacial developmental insights and oral disease early diagnostics.
