Research facilities equipped with state-of-the-art instruments, where postgraduates and researchers in various specialties who will play a major role in the future dentistry can devote themselves to their studies every day.
A place aiming to help researchers create connections to each other and activate research activities.

Message from the Director

In 2021, the Translational Research Institute for Medical Innovation (TRIMI) was newly established. Institute of Dental Research changed its name to Research Laboratory Center, and we made a new start under the umbrella of TRIMI.
The Center is open to all researchers in the university and serves as a research foothold with state-of-the-art research equipment not only for postgraduates who will play a major role in the future dental community but also for researchers in various specialties who devote themselves to research on day and night. For this purpose, we try to purchase new equipment and devices while carrying out maintenance every day so that they can be used effectively for research activities.
As Director of the Center, I would like to further activate research activities of users. I will make my best effort to improve the environment as the facility for the joint use so that various researchers can cooperate each other, share information, and make progress in their joint research, etc.
I would like to respond to user's requests as a core research institution in the university and contribute to the development of dentistry research. I would appreciate your further support and cooperation.
