The Brodie Laboratory
for Craniofacial Genetics has been established in the
Department
of Orthodontics at the University
of Illinois at Chicago College of Dentistry
to honor the memory of Allan G. Brodie,
preeminent educator and scholar in craniofacial research and clinical orthodontics.
The mission of the Brodie Laboratory for Craniofacial Genetics is to further the science, teaching, and clinical application of the biology of the craniofacial region and the teeth therein.
