Research in Biomedical Sciences

The department of Biomedical Sciences conducts research in Neuroscience, Molecular and Cell Biology and Infectious Diseases and Immunology. Many of its neuroscience faculty are involved in studies of pain. These and other research activities in the department encompass areas classically associated with oral biology and dentistry, but also extend to "non-dental" research areas such as visceral pain, molecular and cell biology of prostate cancer, molecular pathogenesis of Chlamydia, and regulation of gene expression in the soil bacterium, Bacillus subtilis. The department also houses important research resources, including an electron microscopy, two confocal microscopes and a Typhoon Imager.
