Research Office
Welcome to the Mike Petryk School of Dentistry (MPSoD) research platform!
Research represents one of the MPSoD enterprise's most dynamic elements, and the office of research reflects the responsibilities associated with promoting and advancing research activities that contribute to new scientific/technical discoveries, clinical trials, and new dental-related technology. In addition to promoting research education and training among undergraduate and graduate students.
Our school is committed to advancing oral and systemic health in research areas such as craniofacial development and regeneration, cardiovascular disease, oral cancer, infectious diseases, and dental education. We currently have ongoing clinical trials at our prestigious Paul Major Oral Health Clinic; if you are interested, please get in touch with the clinic for more information.
In addition to supporting the MPSoD research studies, we host numerous academic events, and academic scholars who spend weeks to months shadowing various MPSoD research activities and learning from us. Volunteers are welcome to participate in the MPSoD research activities by contacting the MPSoD faculty conducting research in their area of interest.
Driven by our commitment to community engagement research, the MPSoD developed a community-engaged research program that is focused on encouraging and supporting student participation in community-engaged research that emerged from and addresses the research needs of community partners.
MPSoD research investigators are also pushing the boundary of science, specifically in the field of artificial intelligence, to identify oral cavity normal and abnormal structures, detect and diagnose dental caries/diseases, and predict treatment outcomes. We also leverage the healthcare administrative data collected at our Paul Major Oral Health Clinic to conduct research related to health-care delivery, benefits, harms and costs.
We are committed to excellence in research, and we invite you to collaborate with us. Please peruse our website to learn more about what we have to offer.
