The PhD program is designed to train academic research investigators of the future, who will carry out independent, high-quality research in oral biology, the foundations of which are in numerous oral health-related biomedical sciences: cell, developmental and molecular biology, biochemistry, biomaterials, biophysics and physical sciences. UCSF embodies everything that I wanted out of a university: serving the community, being a leader in health care and research. I couldn’t see myself going anywhere else but here. Darnell Cuylear Image DDS/PhD The UCSF integrated DDS/PhD program is a highly competitive program that requires credentials to allow admissions to both the PhD and DDS programs. These require separate application processes. See our DDS/PhD program page for information on the DDS application process.
