Didactic The didactic component of the subject involves lectures, tutorials and research seminars, covering advanced oral biology and molecular biology. Research The major component of the subject will be a research program in any area of oral biology that is mutually agreed upon by the student and supervisor. Current areas of major research activity within the Dental School include the molecular biology of oral diseases and microbial pathogens and cellular biology of oral tissues. Facilities available within the major research units of the School include cell and tissue culture, continuous culture of microorganisms, protein purification, peptide sequence analysis, peptide synthesis, monoclonal antibody generation, specific-pathogen-free animals, recombinant DNA technology and DNA sequence analysis, mass spectrometry, NMR spectroscopy and molecular modeling. |
