Why be a student researcher?
The Student Research Group works hard to give students opportunities to learn and excel. Through our meetings and with the help of our faculty mentors, we provide an avenue of networking between student researchers, potential student researchers, and faculty mentors to help students identify and explore a wide variety of research experiences.
Our students take advantage of, and become involved in, projects that have made big contributions to the field of dentistry. Through our bimonthly meeting and the school’s annual Research Day, we have provided students with opportunities to practice their presentation skills and share their research with the rest of the School of Dentistry’s scientific community.
