Forsyth is the world's preeminent institution devoted to the generation of knowledge in oral, craniofacial and related sciences, and to its application to promoting a lifetime of wellness.
Forsyth discoveries have the potential to improve the life of every human and to realize our vision of eliminating oral diseases. Our mission takes on added significance in light of evidence of strong linkages between oral health and overall health. Poor oral health has been linked to diabetes, low birth-weight infants, cardiovascular disease, stroke and other major systemic diseases.
Both laboratory and clinical settings provide the backdrop for remarkable scientific advances that continually lead to the development of new diagnostics, treatments, products and preventive health strategies.
Forsyth has been a top research grant recipient from the National Institutes of Health and other Federal agencies for many decades. Forsyth's scientific breakthroughs have been recognized as having the highest impact on the field of oral and craniofacial biology and related biomedical sciences over this time.
Our outstanding research reputation has resulted in a long history of industry collaboration and support. These relationships have ranged from grant-type support for exploratory research, to preclinical studies, and clinical trials and product development, for which Forsyth has a long-standing reputation for excellence. Corporate sponsors have included large pharmaceutical, consumer-product and instrumentation firms, as well as biotech start-ups.
Progress made in Forsyth's research is highlighted through a robust seminar program that features both Forsyth faculty and selected researchers from other institution's worldwide. A list of our upcoming seminars and lectures can be found here.
