波士顿大学亨利·高德曼牙科医学院分子与细胞生物学系提供生物医学科学口腔生物学博士学位。口腔生物学博士学位课程招募具有生命和基础科学背景的学生，他们对牙科和医学科学的其他高级培训感兴趣。该计划的目的是教育学生有关口腔生物学和口腔疾病的现代科学方法。博士课程是为主要目标是从事口腔生物学研究的学生而设计的。口腔在微生物学，结缔组织结构和宿主反应方面是独特的。而且，口腔疾病提出了尚未解决的科学挑战和新颖的生物学现象。在当前人口趋势的背景下，清楚地了解了了解其发病率和严重性随年龄增加的疾病的口腔生物学的重要性。
The PhD in Orofacial & Skeletal Biology, Program in Biomedical Sciences is offered by the Department of Translational Dental Medicine at Boston University's Henry M. Goldman School of Dental Medicine. The PhD program in Orofacial & Skeletal Biology recruits students with backgrounds in the life and basic sciences who are interested in additional advanced training in dental and medical sciences.<br><br>The aim of this program is to educate students in modern scientific approaches to oral biology and oral disease. The PhD program is designed for the student whose primary goal is to pursue a career in oral biology research. The oral cavity is unique regarding its microbiology, connective tissue structures, and host responses. Moreover, oral diseases present unsolved scientific challenges and novel biological phenomena. The importance of understanding the oral biology of diseases whose incidence and severity increase with age is clearly understood within the context of current demographic trends.
