Cranofacial biology
The research area comprises studies of the development of the cranium and face, including the teeth, jaws, palate, tongue, muscles, salivary glands, mucous membranes including taste buds and the tonsils (lymphatic organs).
The tooth is a good research model for studying organ development, and the results of this research have transfer value to other studies of organ development. The same can be said of development of the salivary glands, which are also the object of research at the Faculty. Research conducted during recent years has contributed towards enhanced understanding of the physiological basis for salivary secretion.
