Key highlights of the collaboration:

Joint research projects: Faculty and researchers will collaborate on dental and oral health studies, focusing on critical and emerging issues in oral and maxillofacial health.
Scholarly co-authorship: Opportunities to co-author peer-reviewed publications and scientific papers that meet global standards of academic excellence.

Faculty development: Exchange of teaching materials, digital tools, and advanced research methodologies to elevate the quality of education and scientific inquiry.
