The Michigan-Pittsburgh-Wyss Regenerative Medicine Resource Center, led by the University of Michigan School of Dentistry (U-M), has received a $31.4 million grant from the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research to continue the center’s research into the restoration of dental, oral and craniofacial tissues lost to disease, injury or congenital disorders.
The Michigan-Pittsburgh-Wyss Regenerative Medicine Resource Center, led by the University of Michigan School of Dentistry (U-M), has received a $31.4 million grant from the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research to continue the center’s research into the restoration of dental, oral and craniofacial tissues lost to disease, injury or congenital disorders.
The 5-year grant is the largest research award ever received by the school. This new funding will help advance the center’s 13 interdisciplinary translational projects to the point where investigators receive FDA approval to begin clinical trials in patients for their new products and/or procedures, with the ultimate goal being their widespread use in treatment, according to the university.
The Resource Center includes U-M collaborators from the medical school, School of Public Health, College of Pharmacy, College of Engineering, the Office of Technology Transfe, and the Michigan Institute for Clinical and Health Research, as well as contributors from private companies.
