May 2024: Drs. Jeffrey Toth and Carol Everson have received a $555 K award from the National Institutes of Health, for a new project seeking to define the biology of chronic sleep deficiency, how it changes bone structure and remodeling activities that underlie bone fragility and fracture risk in aging.
March 2023: Dr. Toth will join Dr. Mariana Reis as a Collaborator—Key Personnel on a recently funded project entitled, "Structure and Biology of the Cementum as a Function of Age and Disease." This project is sponsored by the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research (NIDCR). Learn more about the project
March 2023: Dr. Reis is a Postdoctoral Fellow who is rotating through the BIMA Lab and is being trained on gross photography, fixation, decalcification, accessions, decalcified and undecalcified histology, microradiography and Faxitron radiography. Learn more about Dr. Reis
