Research Seminar Series: Highlights from a Decade of Experiment Oral Biology and Regenerative Dentistry
Date and Time
Location
Join us for the HSDM Research Seminar Series featuring Dr. Reinhard Gruber, professor of oral biology at the Medical University of Vienna.
Gruber will share highlights from a decade of research exploring how biologically active compounds, biomaterials, and growth factors can support tissue regeneration. Drawing on studies of bone healing, he will discuss materials such as platelet-rich fibrin, collagen, and hyaluronic acid and the experimental approaches his team uses to investigate regenerative treatments.
About the speaker
Dr. Reinhard Gruber is a professor of oral biology at the Medical University of Vienna. His research focuses on bone regeneration, including how dental implants integrate with bone and how bone grafts heal. His laboratory combines cell biology, preclinical research, and clinical trials to advance regenerative dentistry.
Gruber earned his doctorate at the University of Natural Resources and Life Sciences in Vienna and completed postdoctoral training in rheumatology. He has held visiting research appointments at Carnegie Mellon University and the University of Michigan School of Dentistry and previously led the Laboratory of Oral Cell Biology at the University of Bern.
