Epigenetic Basis of Oral Diseases: From Mechanisms to Translational Potential
A Lecture by Dr. Edward Kwon, University at Buffalo School of Dental Medicine
Join the March 2026 installment of the Division of Oral and Systemic Health Sciences' Seminar Series. All are welcome, and no RSVP is required. One unit of continuing education credit is available for attendees!
Edward Kwon, D.D.S., Ph.D., is an Associate Professor in the Department of Oral Biology at the University at Buffalo School of Dental Medicine. He is a clinician-scientist whose research focuses on the genetic and epigenetic regulation of dental and craniofacial development and disease, with particular emphasis on chromatin-based control of enamel, tooth root, and craniofacial morphogenesis. Using developmental mouse models, epigenomic profiling, and molecular approaches, his NIH-funded laboratory investigates how dysregulation of epigenetic regulators contributes to congenital dental and craniofacial disorders and explores translational strategies to restore normal tissue development.
