Nice review from Yuji Mishina's group UM SchoolofDentistry highlighting the critical roles for osteoclasts during alveolar bone healing 🦷 onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/dv…

Bittersweet send off to Joel Finbloom from the The Desai Lab @ UCSF! Enjoy your new position University of British Columbia ! We are so excited for your next chapter.

Happy Holidays from The Desai Lab @ UCSF to you! It’s been quite a ride these last few months, starting as Dean at Brown Engineering and still moving the science forward. I am thankful to this group for their patience and dedication!

Excited to share our latest review in #MolecularPharmaceutics highlighting the utility of calcium phosphate particles for drug delivery and the applications for the craniofacial complex! Cheers to the team Nafisa Elghazali, #SunilKapila, and Tejal A. Desai pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…

Congrats to UC San Francisco Drs. Sarah Knox and Chelsea Bahney Chelsea S Bahney whose #research into neurogenic hydrogels to restore the epithelial organ structure and function was published in Science Magazine science.org/doi/10.1126/sc… Innovation Ventures - UCSF linkedin.com/feed/update/ur…

Our latest CBASS story from the Joe Bondy-Denomy lab has arrived! 🙌Through a serendipitous collaboration with Yue Feng's lab, we uncovered an anti-CBASS protein that ‘sponges’ up a broad spectrum of cyclic dinucleotides. cell.com/cell/fulltext/… 1/14

While research consists of several stages (discovery, development, deployment, implementation) with an emphasis on funding discovery, all stages must occur (and be funded) concurrently for successful translation.

Working on this hydrogel project introduced me to the world of Oral and Craniofacial research and, most importantly, an excellent group of mentors that helped me get me where I am today. Congrats to the whole Mooney Lab!

Excited to share our latest work on Tough Adhesives (TA) for dental/oral indications (DenTAI) in Journal of Dental Research! #IADR #AADOCR 🐌🦷🧬 Congratulations to all co-authors #MooneyLab Ben Freedman Kyle Vining Darnell Cuylear Harvard SEAS Wyss Institute Harvard School of Dental Medicine 📄: journals.sagepub.com/eprint/NKZHBKE…

Thank you to the #AADOCR organizers for putting together such a wonderful meeting and for the award! I loved hearing about all the cool, new science, and catching up with mentors and friends! Until next year! 🦷✨

Check out our paper for nerve growth factor delivery via PEGDMA microrods for fracture repair!

Powerful perspective from Michel Koo and Kathleen Stebe Penn Dental Medicine describing how "Dentist-scientists must be trained to apply engineering approaches, and engineers must be educated in oral and craniofacial sciences..." journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/00…

UCSF’s Graduate Division offers a host of fellowships to our students. Congrats to some of this year’s recipients!
