项目摘要

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. 1

项目概要哥伦比亚大学具有独特的优势，可以为下一代牙科提供先进的双元培训牙科和生物医学工程科学家，帮助他们做好领导日常实践变革的准备通过过去 10 年的战略投资，牙科行业向个性化和精准治疗迈进。哥伦比亚大学已成为牙医生物医学工程研究培训的场所。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，该中心改变了传统牙科诊所转变为实时跟踪 48 个临床活动的数字化中心。此外，哥伦比亚还能够跟踪患者、医疗服务提供者和牙科器械的使用情况和位置。 CDM 是全国首批通过以下方式全面整合牙科和医疗电子记录的学校之一 EPIC，提供综合的患者健康记录。工程（DBME）成立于2000年，已迅速成为排名前10的毕业生之一生物医学工程项目，在每位教师的资助方面处于全国领先地位，在基础领域（生物成像、生物材料、生物力学）以及前沿研究领域（细胞和组织）工程、神经工程、合成生物学和深度学习）。生物医学工程学者培训 (D-BEST) 计划汇集了领先的生物医学哥伦比亚大学的工程研究人员和牙科赞助人和学者拥有这种独特的双学位。 DDS/PhD培训项目将整合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）牙科诊断的大数据和深度学习，4）口腔检测和建模 D-BEST 的两个方向是 (i) 博士预科课程——为期 8 年的牙科双学位课程 (DDS) 和生物医学工程博士（PhD），以及（ii）博士后 - 生物医学工程博士后研究培训五年内，我们计划拥有 24 个博士前职位和 7 个博士后职位。除了非常成功的夏季健康计划外，每位学员还有 3 年的补助金。职业教育计划 (SHPEP)，我们与 Ponce Health 牙科医学院合作波多黎各科学大学增强学员库的多样性并确保学员的参与 D-BEST 计划中传统上代表性不足的群体的学员。将提供一个独特的机会来促进、加强和深化我们的长期多学科牙科研究。在此 5 年赠款之上和之外的长期目标是继续为此实施富有成效且可持续的计划牙科科学家的综合培训，其专业知识植根于工程和牙科科学。预计新一代牙科科学家将引领个性化解决方案的创建消除该国成年人持续不良的口腔健康状况。 1
