Prospective Students

The Center for Biomaterials provides training and research opportunities for graduate (M.S. and Ph.D.) students, pre-doctoral dental and medical students, residents and fellows. Students should contact individual faculty to discuss training, rotation and summer research opportunities.

Biomaterials graduate students apply for programs in biomaterials through the Biomedical Sciences (BMS) field of study, located at the University of Connecticut Health Center. The biomaterials graduate program at the UConn Health Center provides a strong emphasis on cellular and molecular biology, along with training in biomaterials synthesis and characterization. Students would select the skeletal, craniofacial and oral biology area of concentration, which has a close collaboration with biomaterials. Faculty in the Center for Biomaterials are also available to mentor graduate students at the Storrs campus through the Biomedical Engineering and Materials Science and Engineering programs.
