PROJECT SUMMARY Columbia University is uniquely positioned to provide advanced dual training of the next generation of dental scientists in dentistry and biomedical engineering, to prepare them to lead the transformation of the daily practice of dentistry towards personalized and precision treatments. Through strategic investment over the last 10 years, Columbia University has become the place for biomedical engineering research training of dentists. The College of Dental Medicine (CDM) has created a new 15,000 sq ft Center for Precision Dentistry that transforms the traditional dental practice into a digitalized hub that tracks clinical activities in real time. Each of the 48 operatories is able to track patients, providers and dental instruments usage and location. In addition, Columbia CDM is one of the first schools in the country to fully integrate dental and medical electronic records through EPIC, which provides an integrated patient’s health record. Moreover, the Department of Biomedical Engineering (DBME), established in 2000, has quickly risen to become one of the top 10 ranked graduate programs in Biomedical Engineering, and leads the nation in funding per faculty, with renowned strength in foundational areas (bioimaging, biomaterials, biomechanics) as well as in frontier research areas (cell and tissue engineering, neuroengineering, synthetic biology and deep learning). We propose here a new Dental-Biomedical Engineering Scholars Training (D-BEST) Program that brings together leading biomedical engineering researchers and dental clinicians and scholars at Columbia University. This unique dual-degree DDS/PhD training program will integrate dental and biomedical engineering research training of dental scientists in four key thematic areas: 1) Stem Cells and Regenerative Engineering, 2) Craniofacial Imaging and Biomechanics, 3) Big Data and Deep Learning for Dental Diagnostics, and 4) Detection and Modeling of Oral Diseases. The two tracks of D-BEST are (i) Pre-Doc – an 8-year dual degree program in dentistry (DDS) and in Biomedical Engineering (PhD), and (ii) Post-Doc – post-doctoral research training in biomedical engineering to US or foreign trained dentists. Over the 5 years, we plan to have 24 pre-doctoral slots and 7 post-doctoral slots with each trainee staying on the grant for 3 years. In addition to the highly successful Summer Health Professions Education Program (SHPEP), we are partnering with the School of Dental Medicine at Ponce Health Sciences University in Puerto Rico to enhance the diversity of the trainee pool and ensure participation of trainees from traditionally under-represented groups in the D-BEST program. This new T90/R90 training program will provide a unique opportunity to promote, enhance, and deepen multidisciplinary dental research. Our long-term goal, above and beyond this 5-year grant, is to continue with a productive and sustainable program for this integrated training of dental scientists, with expertise rooted in both engineering and dental sciences. It is anticipated that this new generation of dental scientists will lead the creation of personalized solutions to eliminate the persistent poor oral health of adults in this country.

项目摘要 哥伦比亚大学的独特位置可以提供下一代牙科的高级双重培训 牙科和生物医学工程学的科学家，为他们的准备工作做好准备 牙科的个性化和精确治疗。通过过去10年的战略投资， 哥伦比亚大学已成为牙医生物医学工程研究培训的地方。大学 牙科医学（CDM）创建了一个新的15,000平方英尺的精密牙科中心，该中心改变了 传统的牙科实践进入数字化枢纽，该枢纽实时跟踪临床活动。 48中的每一个 操作员能够跟踪患者，提供者和牙科工具的使用和位置。此外，哥伦比亚 CDM是该国最早通过 Epic，提供综合患者的健康记录。此外，生物医学系 工程（DBME）成立于2000年，已迅速崛起成为排名前10位的毕业生之一 生物医学工程的计划，并以著名的力量领导国家的资金 基础区域（生物材料，生物材料，生物力学）以及边境研究区域（细胞和组织） 工程，神经工程，合成生物学和深度学习）。我们在这里提出了一项新的牙科生物医学工程学者培训（D-test）计划，该计划将领先的生物医学融合在一起 哥伦比亚大学的工程研究人员，牙科临床医生和学者。这个独特的双度 DDS/PhD培训计划将整合牙科的牙科和生物医学工程研究培训 四个关键主题领域的科学家：1）干细胞和再生工程，2）颅面成像和 生物力学，3）大数据和牙科诊断的深度学习，以及4）口服的检测和建模 疾病。 D-test的两个曲目是（i）牙科牙科（DDS）的8年双学位课程和 生物医学工程（PHD）和（ii）生物医学工程学后研究培训 给我们或外国训练的牙医。在5年的时间里，我们计划拥有24个博士前的插槽和7个博士后插槽 每个学员的老虎机都待了3年。除了非常成功的夏季健康 专业教育计划（SHPEP），我们正在与Ponce Health的牙科医学学院合作 波多黎各的科学大学，以增强学员池的多样性并确保参与 传统上代表性不足的团体的学员在D-最佳计划中。这个新的T90/R90培训计划 将提供一个独特的机会来促进，增强和加深多学科的牙科研究。我们的长期目标超越了这笔5年的赠款，是继续进行一项富有成效和可持续的计划 对牙科科学家的综合培训，具有植根于工程和牙科科学的专业知识。这是 预计这一新一代的牙科科学家将领导个性化解决方案的创建 消除该国成年人的口腔健康持续性较差。
