What we can offer:
The 成人VR视频 Faculty of Dental Medicine and Oral Health Sciences is home to a remarkable diversity of researchers who investigate topics ranging from anthropology, to cancer research, to bone formation. We offer extensive expertise, laboratories equipped with cutting edge technology, and a vibrant network of partnerships that span the entire range of potential research stakeholders (i.e., researchers, clinicians, community/non-profit organizations, government, and industry).
We can offer our expertise in:
- Assessing the population鈥檚 oral health needs: Our faculty includes several experts in qualitative, quantitative, and mixed methods research who are highly specialized in investigating diverse populations鈥� specific needs.
- Clinical trials: Our faculty includes world-class experts in clinical trials for dental treatments (i.e., implants, implant prosthesis, etc.) and new dental materials.
- Personalized medicine: Our faculty are familiar with omic analysis designed to optimize patient care from diagnosis to treatment.
- Development and investigation of dental and medical products: Our faculty includes experts in the development of advanced biomaterials, stem cell therapies, and new drugs for dental and medical applications, for example, new drugs for pain control, new treatments for rare diseases, stem cell therapies for salivary gland regeneration, and biomaterials for tissue regeneration. In addition, our research program includes investigations about the mechanical, physical, and chemical properties of dental and medical products.
- In vitro and in vivo studies: Our faculty has extensive expertise in surgical and non-surgical animal models. These models are often used to test biocompatibility, tissue regeneration, dental implants, drugs, pain behaviour, stem cell therapies, metabolism, and bone physiology, among other applications. This includes mechanical testing, in-vitro cell culture, biocompatibility assays, and multiple advanced imaging capabilities.
