The UBC Faculty of Dentistry’s Research Day is an annual forum highlighting current research accomplishments and showcasing innovative and groundbreaking research projects via oral and poster presentations by undergraduate and graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, research associates, visiting scientists, and faculty members.
