The University of Utah School of Dentistry recognizes the vital role of research in the discovery, development, and eventual translation of new biomedical knowledge to identify and address oral health problems.
We are integrated with University of Utah Health and their outstanding tradition of biomedical research and translational philosophy.
Our Office is designed to foster collaborative efforts with investigators and clinicians to optimize unique resources and scientific expertise for both dentistry students and faculty.
Our new Associate Dean for Research, Dr. Brenda Heaton, says research can reveal health inequities among populations and discusses why integrating oral care into overall healthcare is so important.
