Research at Penn Dental Medicine

Penn Dental Medicine views scholarship as a central component of excellence in instruction and patient care, and places a high priority on research. The presence of both a strong basic science faculty and a top clinical faculty at Penn Dental Medicine has encouraged the development of a strong research program.

The University of Pennsylvania presents a unique environment for research in the biomedical sciences, with schools in each of the health professions - medicine, veterinary medicine, nursing, and dental medicine - all on a single campus, along with outstanding departments in bioengineering and the basic sciences. Consequently, interdisciplinary research is a hallmark of the University with Penn Dental Medicine collaborating extensively with faculty across the University.
