Facilities, Laboratories & Research
Research Centers & Laboratories
In addition to a primary research center located in 澳门六合彩官网鈥檚 College of Public Health, there are six dedicated research laboratories housed within 澳门六合彩官网鈥檚 Kornberg School of Dentistry, located minutes north of Main Campus.
In collaboration with 澳门六合彩官网鈥檚 Department of Psychology, the聽 facilitates in the understanding of the complex variables that surround oral health and disease status, with a focus on evidence-based prevention research. The center acts as a bridge between dentistry, public health and psychology.
The studies the overall quality of the human voice, with an intrinsic focus on cranial muscle groups. In a collaborative partnership with faculty from Misericordia University, the experimental usage of state-of-the-art recording devices measure everything from pre- and post-oxygen consumption to hemoglobin levels in human thyroarytenoid muscles.
The is a fully equipped, 2,200-square-foot multiroom complex dedicated to the harvesting and analysis of oral microorganisms. In addition to walk-in incubators and freezers, the facility has a dark room, a sterile room and a tissue culture room. Students will also have full access to
- Agarose, SDS-PAGE and Western Transfer electrophoresis systems;
- a PCR thermal cycler;
- an electroporation system;
- a spectrophotometer; and
- a UV DNA documentation system.
The is a fully licensed and certified hospital-grade microbiology facility for complex bacteriological analysis. It serves as the primary laboratory for clinical periodontal and peri-implant microbiology disciplines.
The harvests various types of bacteria, fungi and multispecies biofilms in addition to immunoblotting, generation sequencing聽and DNA extraction. This 725-square-foot laboratory allows dental students to examine both the pre- and post-processing of murine models in the analysis of various oral diseases.
罢丑别听 is home to equipment especially for cellular and molecular biomedical research. Equipment in this Level 2 biosafety facility includes a cell culture incubator and culture hood, a real-time PCR machine, and a FluorChem M imaging system. This lab allows dental students to work on basic and translational research including but not limited to stem cell culture, biomaterial scaffold聽and cell signaling.
The is a fully equipped fabrication and smart biomaterials facility for the testing of various dental materials across load types. This lab features聽3D printers, ink-writers and a full machine shop, so students can work with dental materials ranging from ceramics to biological tissue. Many of the materials are used in-house to simulate real-world oral and periodontal conditions.
The instrumentation housed in the Kornberg School of Dentistry is聽available for use by graduate or postdoctoral researchers and is subject to proper training and supervision by faculty. Dentistry students also have access to additional facilities and instrumentation for research purposes in 澳门六合彩官网鈥檚 College of Engineering, the Lewis Katz School of Medicine and the Fox Chase Cancer Center.
Additional Facilities
The 聽is a 53,000-square-foot facility that caters to all students in 澳门六合彩官网鈥檚 Health Sciences Center. In addition to a robust analog and digital offering of dentistry literature, the library features 175 workstations and 10 collaborative learning rooms that are open to all dentistry students and faculty.
The offers space to conduct research or, if needed, take a reprieve from learning. Located just north of 澳门六合彩官网鈥檚 Main Campus, a host of study and conference rooms intertwine with multipurpose athletic courts and fitness facilities.
