Last week, our Craniofacial Biology (CBY) Ph.D. Program kicked off a new academic year with an exciting Student Orientation and Welcome Reception. With a remarkable history spanning over 50 years since its inception in 1977, our CBY program has remained at the forefront of unraveling the intricate world of oral tissues, disease and healing mechanisms. 

Joining our dynamic community are three exceptional students, Yang, Jingyi (Joyce), and Jingyu– all set to make their mark in craniofacial research as part of the Craniofacial Biology and Oral Biology graduate program.

The CBY program offers an immersive experience that equips students with diverse knowledge, preparing them for groundbreaking research. Our focus is hands-on and impactful, from stem cell research to immunology and embryology. Our students gain a comprehensive toolkit to drive their research forward.

Celebrating a successful orientation, we eagerly anticipate a year filled with growth, collaboration, and innovation. Here’s to another year of exciting discoveries!
