RESEARCH AND THE FUTURE OF DENTAL MEDICINE
BEGINS
HERE
The School of Dental Medicine has been one of the nation’s
leading research institutions for most of its long history.
Throughout the past decade, the school has been a top-
tier-ranked National Institutes of Health (NIH)/National
Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research (NIDCR)
institution. Funding from these organizations and others,
such as the Department of Defense and private corporations,
has supported many types of research at the school.
Such successful research efforts also can be traced to the
cooperative approach taken together by research and
clinical faculty.
Presented, here, is influential new and ongoing research
taking place in the renowned Center for Craniofacial
Regeneration (CCR) and the Center for Craniofacial and
Dental Genetics (CCDG) and what it means to clinicians
and patients, and for the future of dental medicine.
The Center for Craniofacial Regeneration
is Pivotal to Today’s Growing Research
The Center for Craniofacial Regeneration (CCR) is a University
of Pittsburgh designated Center of Excellence directed by
Charles Sfeir, DDS, PhD, who also is the Associate Dean of
Research, and chair of the Department of Periodontics and
Preventive Medicine at the School of Dental Medicine. Both
a clinician and researcher, Dr. Sfeir seeks new treatments for
patients by undertaking some of the region’s most cutting-
edge research.
Research studies in the CCR range from the molecular and
cellular to the whole-organism level. Studies include fundamental
biological phenomena related to the development, structure,
and function of the craniofacial region and the development
of new therapies, biomaterials, and diagnostic tools for the
treatment of craniofacial diseases and disorders.
The focus of the CCR is in five areas:
• the development of bio-inspired materials for mineralized
tissue engineering as well as understanding extracellular
matrix proteins involved in mineralized tissue biology;
• the development of fixation devices using resorbable metals;
• the development of novel periodontal therapies using
modulation of the immune system strategies;
• the development of tissue engineering strategies for pulp tissue
regeneration; and
• translational research that involves pre-clinical animal models.
These goals guide various research strategies carried out by
faculty and staff members, and doctoral and dental students
representing different backgrounds. Much of the research
undertaken in the Center is of an intraprofessional nature
and involves other departments at the school. For instance,
researchers in the CCR work together with clinical faculty
members from the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial
Surgery to seek surgical treatments for regenerating bone
and other tissues, with the Department of Endodontics on
pulp regeneration, and with the Department of Periodontics
to develop treatments for patients with periodontal disease.
The CCR also reaches beyond the field of dentistry and works
interprofessionally with many schools, departments, and areas
of study at the University, such as the Schools of Pharmacy and
Engineering. The CCR participates in interdisciplinary research
efforts that are developing advances in engineering various
tissue types for the treatment of functional and cosmetic
wounds and defects of the face and skull. Many clinical and
research faculty members at the school also are members
of the University of Pittsburgh’s McGowan Institute for
Regenerative Medicine, one of the premiere research
centers in the nation bringing together varied disciplines
from throughout the University.
CCR research receives funding from the NIH, the National
Science Foundation, and the United States Department
of Defense.
Salk Hall celebrated a building milestone in the opening
of the Salk Research Pavilion. The Pavilion officially
opened during a formal ribbon-cutting ceremony on
September 15, 2015.
Dedicated entirely to research pursuits, the building provides
roughly 81,000 square feet of additional space. Every floor
has designated space for 125-square-foot offices, restrooms,
a kitchen area large enough for 16 people to eat together,
and high-tech conference centers—the largest seats
40–where researchers and clinicians, students and staff,
can discuss the newest collaborative research efforts
at the school. The laboratories have individual cold rooms
and each floor shares space for sterilization and glass
washing as well as a glass manifold. The building is wired
with emergency power circuits to protect the freezers that
secure various study cultures and growth mediums.
Corner conference rooms feature spectacular floor-to-
ceiling windows that overlook Oakland with a view of
the Monongahela River, a view that is certain to jostle the
creative part of the scientific process.
Its exterior is a mix of dark and light gray stone imported
from Germany with a modern interior. The most striking
element upon entering the building is the glorious atrium
featuring a massive painting by Pitt Professor Emeritus Virgil
Cantini. The building has Silver LEED certification, which
includes native beneficial plantings outside.

The IEE was one of only five nationwide winners of the SBA’s “Lean for Main Street
Training Challenge,” enabling our Small Business Development Center (SBDC) to
provide “lean” training programs to Main Street businesses at no cost. Similarly, as a
winner of the EDA’s 2016 i6 Challenge award, we have assisted in the establishment
of a Manufacturing Accelerator Program (MAP) for the creative makers movement
that is flourishing in our region. The program, located in Homewood, gives us the
ability to leverage our innovative culture and Pittsburgh’s history of manufacturing
by reaching out to entrepreneurial artisans, craftspeople, and designers. Our goal
is to jumpstart commercial activity through education, training, and support, so that
artisans eventually can grow their work into neighborhood storefronts, creating jobs
and attracting capital.
While our reach often extends throughout the community, our partnerships within
the University of Pittsburgh are crucial to our organization’s sustained success. The
IEE is collaborating with Swanson School of Engineering to deliver entrepreneurial
programming to coal-impacted communities in the region. This workforce
development program will offer miners affected by the decline of coal mining the
educational resources and guidance to forge their own path to success. Our SBDC
will also offer workshops and training programs to small business owners in the
communities that have relied disproportionately on the coal industry.
I’m honored to lead an organization that upholds the reputation of the University
of Pittsburgh as a force for entrepreneurship and economic prosperity. With
efforts from our dedicated staff, we have assisted in opening the doors of 88 new
businesses and helped raise $13.5 million to seed and nurture growing companies.
Building upon the achievements of our entrepreneurs and consultants, we anticipate
continued success.
I appreciate your unwavering support.
Dear Stakeholders,
With another successful year of providing education and support to entrepreneurs and businesses in our region,
I’m pleased to present to you the Institute for Entrepreneurial Excellence’s (IEE) 2016 annual report. As part of
Pitt’s Innovation Institute, we have made remarkable strides in empowering business leaders, strengthening
our ties to the community, and benefiting the entire region all while leveraging our network and resources within
the University of Pittsburgh. Support from our partners enabled our team to assist both startup and seasoned
companies, as well as individuals who are making workforce transitions as industry landscapes continue
to change.
New initiatives and pilot programs this year will bring targeted services and training to individuals who are ready
to grow their businesses, those who seek a step-by-step approach to a business plan, and those thinking about
starting businesses. These programs will advance because of an unprecedented $640,554 in funding secured
from the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA), the Economic Development Administration (EDA), and the
Appalachian Regional Commission (ARC), among others.
