Microbial Pathogenesis

Professor and Chair:  Robert Ernst, PhD

The department conducts multidisciplinary research in microbial pathogenesis, educates students in the biology of oral and other microbial pathogens, and provides service to the School of Dentistry, the University, and the community. Continued development of the department emphasizes integration of its research activities into the graduate and postgraduate programs of the School of Dentistry through a faculty-driven curriculum in interactive classroom settings as well as department-supported research projects.
