Undergraduate Research

Research Projects are available for students who are considering applying for either:

Research opportunities give hands-on experience in dental research, the opportunity to present findings at research meetings and to contribute to research literature. This experience is invaluable for postgraduate education in Dentistry.

Research facilities are available at the Oral Biosciences Laboratories at St Lucia, the Biomaterials Laboratory at Turbot Street, the UQ Centre for Clinical Research at Herston, or the Prince Charles Hospital at Chermside. Research support staff are available for technical and scientific advice and guidance in some areas.

Students interested in undergraduate research are expected to undertake their research in one of the School’s five research programs (click here). If you are interested in obtaining further details about particular projects please contact the program leader concerned.
 
NB: The School has identified teaching and learning as a developing research strength. Students interested in education-based research are invited to approach either A/Prof Camile Farah, Dr Annetta Tsang or Dr Pauline Ford to discuss an appropriate project.
