The Center for Innovation & Precision Dentistry (CiPD) Annual Symposium will be held on June 1, 2023, at the Singh Center for Nanotechnology on the campus of the University of Pennsylvania. It will be an all-day event.
Plenaries by Dr. Maria Ryan (Colgate, VP and Chief Clinical Officer), Dr. Knut Drescher (Univ. of Basel, Head Research Group), and Dr. Chris Fox (IADR, CEO) will discuss advances in precision oral health, biophysics and dynamics of multicellular microbial communities, and opportunities to address unmet oral health needs.
The program will feature the latest research by CiPD faculty, trainees, and fellows. Join us to learn about emerging applications, from craniofacial and tissue regeneration to oral infections using advanced materials, nano/biotechnology, mRNA, AI and robotics.
We welcome you to engage with our panel of experts on the challenges and opportunities for innovation in oral and craniofacial health care.
