A Letter from the Chair
Dr. Ronald Dubner |
The Department
of Biomedical Sciences is a multidisciplinary basic science department
committed to the study of oral and craniofacial biology with an emphasis
on research and training of students at different levels of academic
development from college to graduate and postgraduate training. Since
its inception in 1840 as the first dental school in the United States,
the Baltimore College of Dental Surgery has included training in the
basic sciences as an important component of its graduate and dental
school programs.
