牙科生物科学哲学博士

牙科医学生物科学计划提供有关分子，超分子，细胞和超细胞过程的高级研究，这些研究为牙科医学提供了知识基础。该计划对神经生物学，骨骼生物学，牙齿发育，干细胞生物学，口腔微生物学，自身免疫，与颅面发育相关的遗传学，肿瘤生物学，疼痛研究，炎症和发育生物学的研究科学家进行培训。BSDM学生与哈佛牙科医学院（HSDM）的发育生物学系和其他系的教职员工以及波士顿哈佛医学院的基础科学系以及剑桥的艺术与科学学院的教职员工合作。鉴于课程的多学科和跨学科的培训目标，所提供的灵活的个性化课程计划是理想的选择。学生必须参加HILS
The Biological Sciences in Dental Medicine program offers advanced study in the molecular, supramolecular, cellular, and supracellular processes that provide the intellectual basis for dental medicine. The program trains research scientists in neurobiology, bone biology, tooth development, stem cell biology, oral microbiology, autoimmunity, genetics related to craniofacial development, tumor biology, pain research, inflammation, and developmental biology. BSDM students work with faculty from the Department of Developmental Biology and other departments at the Harvard School of Dental Medicine (HSDM) as well as with faculty from basic science departments at Harvard Medical School in Boston and from the Faculty of Arts and Sciences in Cambridge. The flexible, individualized program of courses offered is ideal in light of the multi- and interdisciplinary training goal of the program. Students are required to take courses that are also taken by PhD students from other students in HILS and by dental specialty residents who are doing research in fulfillment of requirements for MMSc and DMSc degrees, which increases contacts and exchange of information among students working in a broad range of research areas. Students in the BSDM program are enrolled in and receive a PhD from the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences, even though they may work primarily with HSDM faculty.
