Oral and biomedical sciences
Our research aims to improve the understanding of cellular and molecular processes that underpin infection, disease and trauma.
Research in this theme has a focus, but is not limited to the oral cavity. Our ultimate goal is to use our research to develop therapeutic approaches to improve human health. There is a strong translational aspect to our research, which benefits greatly from the continuous flow of knowledge between clinicians and basic scientists.
