研究中心 & 实验室

In addition to a primary research center located in 亿德体育’s College of Public Health, there are six dedicated research laboratories housed within Temple’s Kornberg School of Dentistry, 位于主校区以北几分钟.

In collaboration with Temple’s Department of Psychology, the 公共卫生研究中心 facilitates in the understanding of the complex variables that surround oral health and disease status, with a focus on evidence-based prevention research. 的 center acts as a bridge between dentistry, public health and psychology.

的 颅面生物学研究实验室 studies the overall quality of the human voice, with an intrinsic focus on cranial muscle groups. In a collaborative partnership with faculty from Misericordia University, the experimental usage of state-of-the-art recording devices measure everything from pre- and post-oxygen consumption to hemoglobin levels in human thyroarytenoid muscles.

的 口腔传染病化验所 是一个设备齐全的, 2,200-square-foot multiroom complex dedicated to the harvesting and analysis of oral microorganisms. In addition to walk-in incubators and freezers, 这个设施有一个暗室, 无菌室和组织培养室. 学生也可以完全访问

• Agarose, SDS-PAGE and Western 转移 electrophoresis systems;
• PCR热循环仪;
• 电穿孔系统;
• a spectrophotometer; and
• 紫外DNA记录系统.

的 Oral Microbiology Testing Service Laboratory is a fully licensed and certified hospital-grade microbiology facility for complex bacteriological analysis. It serves as the primary laboratory for clinical periodontal and peri-implant microbiology disciplines.

的 口腔微生物组研究实验室 收集各种细菌, fungi and multispecies biofilms in addition to immunoblotting, 代测序和DNA提取. This 725-square-foot laboratory allows dental students to examine both the pre- and post-processing of murine models in the analysis of various oral diseases.

的 再生健康研究实验室 is home to equipment especially for cellular and molecular biomedical research. Equipment in this Level 2 biosafety facility includes a cell culture incubator and culture hood, 实时PCR机, 以及FluorChem M成像系统. This lab allows dental students to work on basic and translational research including but not limited to stem cell culture, 生物材料支架与细胞信号传导.

的 智能生物材料研究实验室 是一个设备齐全的 fabrication and smart biomaterials facility for the testing of various dental materials across load types. 这个实验室以3D打印机为特色, 墨水机和一个完整的机械车间, so students can work with dental materials ranging from ceramics to biological tissue. Many of the materials are used in-house to simulate real-world oral and periodontal conditions.

的 instrumentation housed in the Kornberg School of Dentistry is available for use by graduate or postdoctoral researchers and is subject to proper training and supervision by faculty. Dentistry students also have access to additional facilities and instrumentation for research purposes in Temple’s College of Engineering, the Lewis Katz School of Medicine and the Fox Chase Cancer Center.

额外的设施

的 金斯堡健康科学图书馆 is a 53,000-square-foot facility that caters to all students in Temple’s Health Sciences Center. In addition to a robust analog and digital offering of dentistry literature, the library features 175 workstations and 10 collaborative learning rooms that are open to all dentistry students and faculty.

的 学生教学中心 offers space to conduct research or, if needed, take a reprieve from learning. 位于亿德体育主校区的北面, a host of study and conference rooms intertwine with multipurpose athletic courts and fitness facilities.
