Regulation of Skeletogenesis
These studies investigate novel transcription factors and other molecules regulating endochondral and intramembranous ossification both in vitro, in vivo, and ex vivo.
Research Projects
Molecular Orthodontics
The response of hard and soft tissues to orthodontic forces is being studied at the molecular level. These projects are conducted in both animals and humans.
Accelerated Tooth Movement
Human and animal tooth movement models are being used to investigate the effect of cytokine expression on the rate of bone remodeling and tooth movement (patented).
High Frequency Forces
We are conducting studies on the effect of high frequency forces in bone remodeling and tooth movement both in human and animals (patented).
