Functional Dental and Orofacial Tissue Reconstruction from Mesenchymal Stem Cells

This project established the Penn/Peking Research Center -- a close collaboration between Penn Dental Medicine and Peking Dental School. The collaboration aims to facilitate training and research opportunities for dental students, postdocs and junior faculty members from both institutions fulfilling our Global initiatives. In addition, the project convened the Penn Dental Global Symposium on Functional dental and oral-facial tissue reconstruction from Mesenchymal Stem Cells in September, 2015 on the Peking Dental School campus in order to further stimulate and sensitize dental academicians and researchers in China as well as other Asian countries in the importance of research on orofacial tissue reconstruction.
