In our laboratory, we take the relationship between humans and microorganisms in nature from the perspective of infectious diseases, and conduct excellent dentist training and research activities that support it. In particular, there are a wide variety of microorganisms in the oral cavity. Not only oral diseases caused by these microorganisms, but also the effects on the whole body are studied at the molecular level to develop activities that lead to education. It is. In addition, students and faculty members present their research results in the interdisciplinary field in order to play the role of front runners in medical and dental cooperation at the University.
In dentistry education, classes are conducted with the goal of creating an environment where students and education can interact naturally through academic studies. In particular, PBL Tutoral Education, which is conducted in the third year, plays a central role in management. In terms of graduate research guidance, we are also focusing on developing human resources who will be responsible for next-generation dental research.
