The PhD program in oral biology provides training for those who wish to pursue basic and/or clinical-translational research focused on oral and systemic health. Candidates may include those with bachelor's, master's or DDS (or the equivalent) degrees. The program will prepare students for careers in oral and craniofacial biology and the biomedical sciences. Students choose an area of concentration from disciplines, but may also combine work in several fields in order to support their research interests. Disciplines include biochemistry, biophysics, clinical studies, developmental biology, epidemiology, immunology, microbiology, cell and molecular biology, physiology and pharmacology.
