  • Center for Microbiology of Oral Diseases

  • More than 28 faculty researchers are active in Center-related projects. Over the past 21 years the Center has developed a number of successful national and international programs for young scientists and visiting scholars and has supported graduate students, medical and dental studetns, undergraduates, postdoctoral fellows, and visiting professors.
