Research

The faculty distinguishes itself by its unique research portfolio in dental, oral and craniofacial sciences, embracing blue skies discovery research in addition to translational and clinical sciences. The research focuses on three key pillars which link with each other, the wider health sciences at King’s, and with external partnerships.

The three themes are:

Development, Regeneration, Repair & Tissue Engineering
Immunity, Infection & Host Microbiome Interactions
Clinical, Translational & Population Health

From these three themes, three research centres were established, each led by a Head of Centre.

Professor Owen Addison

Head of Centre for Oral, Clinical & Translational Sciences
Professor Luigi Nibali

Head of the Centre for Host-Microbiome Interactions
Professor Andrea Streit

Head of Centre for Craniofacial & Regenerative Biology
