DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Oral Biology is a dynamic and interesting field for biomedical research. The oral cavity can serve as a key modulator for systemic health. The main reason why I chose this field is because it is a multidisciplinary field that incorporates cellular and molecular biology, chemistry, and physics. I believe that the multidisciplinary aspect has so far exposed me to different viewpoints and approaches to solve problems in research. The Oral Biology program at UNC at Chapel Hill is further divided into three branches which are Extracellular Matrices, Host Pathogenesis, and Neuroscience. Each student is exposed to research in all three branches of the program and is allowed to choose in which branch would they like to do a thesis project. The specific area of interest to me is host pathogenesis. I have not chosen a lab at the moment to do a thesis project, however all of the my laboratory rotations have been in labs specified under the host pathogens branch of the Oral Biology program.

描述（由申请人提供）： 口腔生物学是生物医学研究的一个动态和有趣的领域。 口腔可以作为全身健康的关键调节剂。 我选择这个领域的主要原因是因为它是一个多学科领域，包括细胞和分子生物学，化学和物理学。 我相信，到目前为止，多学科方面已经使我接触到不同的观点和方法来解决研究中的问题。 查佩尔山的口腔生物学课程进一步分为三个分支，即细胞外基质，宿主发病机制和神经科学。 每个学生都接触到该计划的所有三个分支的研究，并允许选择他们想做的论文项目的分支。 我感兴趣的具体领域是宿主发病机制。 我目前还没有选择实验室来做论文项目，但我所有的实验室轮换都是在口腔生物学项目宿主病原体分支指定的实验室中进行的。
