The Oral and
Craniofacial Sciences Graduate Group offers academic programs at the
leading edge of basic and translational biomedical sciences related to
craniofacial development, oral health, and disease processes and
treatments. The program is administered through the UCSF School of
Dentistry and maintains a special commitment to the education of dental
professionals seeking advanced research training and academic careers.
PhD programs are mainly focused in two areas 1) biomedical sciences and
2) biomaterials and bioengineering. These programs are available for
DDS degree holders and other health professionals, and non-professional
students with a strong commitment to research in relevant areas. A
DDS/PhD program is also supported by NIH/NIDCR. A terminal MS degree is
available mainly for dentists pursuing advanced specialty training, as
well as an integrated DDS/MS program for a limited number of dental
students. Our ultimate goal is to provide outstanding training for
future academic, professional and research leaders.
