Loma Linda University (LLU) School of Dentistry recently celebrated the addition of 5,631-square-feet of dedicated research space to its Center for Dental Research with a grand opening event. The Center for Dental Research is designed to accommodate cutting-edge, state-of-the-art technology and equipment. The grand opening celebration took place at the Center’s pristine, ground floor location in the east wing of Chan Shun Pavilion on the Loma Linda University Health campus on Tuesday afternoon, Feb. 24. “Research is a key component of our calling, as it enhances the prospect of wholeness,” says Yiming Li, DDS, PhD, MSD, associate dean for research, director, Center for Dental Research, and professor, Department of Restorative Dentistry. “The Center’s new research space will help our School sustain its top-tier ranking in areas of education, patient care, and research.” Loma Linda University Health (LLUH) and the LLU School of Dentistry provided tours of the new facility, meet and greets with its researchers and staff, demonstrated new research equipment and provided learning opportunities about the future of dental research. The School of Dentistry has a remarkable legacy of oral healthcare innovation and research that includes collaboration with researchers in nearly a dozen countries. Its revitalized Center for Dental Research builds on a productive and estimable history of providing investigatory services that since 1998 have developed research protocols and performed basic science and clinical studies sponsored by government, industry and foundations that total nearly $16 million.
