Within the department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery we offer a wealth of research opportunities for students enrolled at the Erasmus Medical Center as well as those of our filial institutions. Our frequent collaborators are Academisch Centrum Tandheelkunde Amsterdam (ACTA), University Medical Center Groningen (UMCG), Wageningen University & Research (WUR), and Technische Universiteit Delft (TU Delft).
With the ever expanding network of students, herein is a selection of some of the projects:
