Serving the Community

By giving our students research experience and critical thinking skills, we are preparing the next generation of community clinicians and oral health scientists who will be prepared to understand, evaluate and use new diagnostic, preventive and treatment technologies to improve your health and quality of life.

By attracting research funding to the University at Buffalo, we are providing good-paying jobs to scientists, technicians and other personnel throughout the Buffalo-Niagara region.

By performing basic research, we are building the critical foundation of understanding of disease and how the body responds to new materials and pharmaceuticals.

By translating our research findings to clinical applications, we are improving everyone’s oral health and quality of life, including helping to establish new companies in the region that will manufacture and commercialize new technologies and cutting edge products.
