Student Research

TUSDM is committed to providing all interested students with opportunities to do research, and students are encouraged to get involved in research projects at the dental school, other Tufts graduate schools, and affiliated organizations.

Degrees and Programs

  • Master of Science in Dental Research: We offer a program of study and research leading to the degree of Master of Science to all scholars qualified to proceed into graduate study. Several of our postgraduate programs provide the option to pursue a combined degree, and we offer a combined DMD/MS degree program.
  • Student Research Fellowship Program: Predoctoral dental students have the opportunity to earn a stipend while performing research under the supervision of university faculty. Each year, a select number of dental students are awarded summer research fellowships on a competitive basis.
  • Research Travel Program: Participating students visit domestic and international headquarters of leading dental manufacturers to conduct research with industry scientists, and gain insight into the multifaceted and interdisciplinary world of dental product manufacturing.
