The Biological Sciences in Dental Medicine (BSDM) Program, leading to the PhD degree combines faculty from the Department of Developmental Biology and other Harvard School of Dental Medicine departments with faculty from basic science departments at Harvard Medical School, and faculty from the Faculty of Arts and Sciences.
This program offers advanced study in the molecular, supramolecular, cellular, and supracellular processes that provide the intellectual basis for dental medicine.
The BSDM program is intended for scholars interested in pursuing a career in basic or patient-oriented science in the areas of skeletal biology, cell biology and development, immunology, or microbiology leading to a PhD degree. Eligible applicants will be individuals with a baccalaureate in sciences (BS), a master degree in sciences, (MS), a doctoral degree in dentistry, (DMD, DDS), or a medical doctoral degree (MD).
