The UCSF School of Dentistry is the preeminent dental research enterprise in the world. Each year since 1992 it has ranked first among all US dental schools in research funding from the National Institutes of Health. The School of Dentistry's research program is exemplified by the school's Research Center in Oral Biology, its Oral Cancer Research Center (OCRC), and its Oral AIDS Center. A pioneer in AIDS research, the school recently celebrated its 20th anniversary as the repository of the San Francisco AIDS Specimen Bank. It is the administrative home of the Center for the Health Professions. The school's NIH-funded Center to Address Disparities in Children's Oral Health (CAN DO) is one of only five such centers in the US and the only one in California. UCSF's multidisciplinary Center for Craniofacial Anomalies is housed within and administered by the School of Dentistry's Department of Growth and Development as is the School's new Center for Craniofacial and Mesenchymal Biology.
The School is committed to promoting broadly-based research
programs with the goal of improving methods for understanding,
preventing, treating, and curing oral and craniofacial facial
diseases and disorders. Thus, the goals for our research program
include:
|
| • |
Maintaining
our status as one of the top ranked dental schools with
regard to extramural research grant support. |
| • |
Expanding
our research infrastructure by increasing research laboratory
space-taking advantage of the campus's overall Mission
Bay expansion project. |
| • |
Fostering
within the School at least two pinnacles of excellence
- defined as interdisciplinary research programs which
are collaborative with the Schools of Medicine, Pharmacy,
and/or Nursing but which are housed within the School
of Dentistry and to which the rest of the campus looks
as the definitive UCSF authority for that subject area. |
| • |
More fully integrating the School's basic research scientists into the broader life of the School of Dentistry - particularly in their interaction with the predoctoral D.D.S. program and, correspondingly, more fully integrating clinician faculty members into the richness of the intellectual and scientific life of the School and campus. |
