Abstract

In the present project, we elucidate mechanism of the outbreak of various kinds of inborn abnormality which showing the phenotype in face, oral cavity including a CLP and aim at developing the oral function foundation therapy by applying the tissue reproduction therapy.

Since this is the first seminar of our research project, we would like to introduce the background of the research field regarding craniofacial biology and the purpose of the present project. Prof. Kazuaki Nonaka will introduce the translational researches being performed in dental science, and Dr. Shum will introduce the FaceBace consortium, that is an NIH-funded resource for craniofacial researchers.

Finally, Dr. Yamaza will present the research for regenerative dentistry and it’s future to direct our research project.
