Summary and Principal Aims

The Advanced Oral Biology and Regenerative Research Group (AOBRRG) was established by the Faculty of Dentistry through the merging of two former research groups: the Oral and Craniofacial Biology Research Group (OCBRG) and the Regenerative Dentistry Research Group (REDREG). AOBRRG is driven by a core focus on fundamental biology, leveraging the latest advancements in stem cell research to propel innovation in dental science. Its mission aligns with the university’s commitment to advancing the frontiers of knowledge.

Area of Interest

The AOBRRG undertakes research pertaining to oral and craniofacial biology including molecular and macro levels, besides all types regenerative stem cell studies including cancer stem cell.  

The Advanced Oral Biology and Regenerative Research Group (AOBRRG) is dedicated to advancing knowledge in oral and craniofacial biology through a multidisciplinary approach that spans both molecular and macroscopic levels of investigation. Our research encompasses the fundamental biological mechanisms underlying oral tissues and craniofacial development, as well as pathological conditions affecting these systems.

A key area of focus within AOBRRG is regeneration in the field of dentistry, particularly the study and application of various types of stem cells for tissue repair and regeneration. This includes extensive work on mesenchymal stem cells, dental pulp stem cells, and periodontal ligament stem cells, as well as cancer stem cells and their roles in oral pathology and oral malignancies. Through this integrative research, the group aims to contribute to the development of innovative therapies for oral diseases and to further the understanding of stem cell biology in both health and disease contexts.

Our research aligns with the broader mission of the university to drive scientific discovery and translate cutting-edge knowledge into real-world clinical applications.
