New Chapter in Basic Science Research

Nearly 25 years ago, when Eastman Dental merged with the University of Rochester, they became formal partners in oral healthcare, graduate education and research. Founded a year later, the Center for Oral Biology quickly built its reputation of excellence through several multi-million dollar grants and attracting internationally recognized and influential scientists working on critical topics in oral biology.

Today, the journey continues with a different organizational structure that will encourage increased research collaborations, faculty engagement and improved productivity within URMC and EIOH.

Effective July 1, the newly established Department of Oral and Craniofacial Biology will succeed the Center for Oral Biology. The DOCB will bring to fruition George Eastman’s original vision where Eastman Institute for Oral Health serves as a unified, global leader in clinical care, education and research under single leadership. ♦
