Nova Southeastern University College of Dental Medicine

The College of Dental Medicine in the Health Professions Division of Nova Southeastern University provides an active and collaborative research environment that is growing rapidly. Currently, the NSU College of Dental Medicine has eight DDS/Ph.D.s and four basic science Ph.D.s, on the full-time faculty. In the past year and a half, 13 new research faculty have been hired: 12 Ph.D.s (8 of them DDS/Ph.D.s) and 1 DDS/M.S. . Further, 18 of the faculty have dual research/clinical graduate degrees and 12 of these are also practicing clinicians. Each of these is working together in some capacity with our health professional post-doctoral students on research activities.
The NSU College of Dental Medicine is currently engaged in research areas that meet the national agenda such as neoplastic diseases of the head and neck, bacterial genetics, craniofacial anomalies and healing, infectious diseases, biomaterials, biomimetics and tissue engineering, systemic manifestations of oral disease, and diabetes. Our research program is expected to attract, develop, and train scientists with an appreciation for research directed towards the needs of underserved and special care populations, including geriatrics, and to meeting health disparities in health care and health care delivery.
The continuous development of research infrastructure and research training programs within the College of Dental Medicine and the NSU HPD significantly strengthens the research program at the Dental College. The international experience of the faculty and the opportunities for research exchange also add strength and diversity to the research program.
