Research Opportunities
Graduate student
research is performed under the supervision of a faculty advisor from
the Department of Oral Biology in facilities at the College of Dentistry
or associated laboratories on the Lincoln or Omaha campus of UNMC. Core
facilities include those for biomaterials, scanning and transmission
electron microscopy, cell and tissue culture, and molecular biology.
