Dr. Azlina Ahmad, PhD Deputy Dean

(Research, Postgraduate & Networking) School of Dental Sciences

In line with the Research University status, USM is continuing its

quest to be a significant global player in research, innovation,

publication and teaching. Thus, the School of Dental Sciences

through its Research & Innovation Unit has endlessly taken

various initiatives and formulated strategies for the advancement

of the school’s research agenda. Even with the limited funding

offered and obtained, diligently, our researchers have

successfully strived through the years supporting the research

activities of our postgraduate students.

MESSAGE FROM THE DEPUTY DEAN OF RESEARCH & POST-GRADUATE STUDIES

Assalaamu’alaikum and Warm Greetings

The primary objective of the activities, I believe, is to tackle the focal challenges facing our

society, economy, and the environment. Furthermore, apart from contributing to the applied

science agenda, some fundamental research activities are up and running because it is still

deemed the critical aspect of research communities.

However, this coming year, 2018, besides the apparent fact of the need to apply for

research funding, maybe we should also think about the returns on investment (social or

otherwise) and pursue collaborative works with other universities. These shall be part of the

research culture in our School of Dental Sciences in moving its research agenda forward.

Through the Research & Innovation Unit, our researchers have access to a wide range of

development programs, as well as benefit from dedicated support in funding applications and

management of grants. We also had attempted to strengthen the laboratories management.

This yearly report aims to disseminate information on all research related activities which have

been conducted and funding obtained throughout the year 2017 to our existing and potential

researchers, stakeholder, and the community at large.

With that, I thank you for the cooperation given, and may the year 2018 be a great one for

us!


RESEARCH & INNOVATION UNIT

The Research & Innovation Unit continues to hold the responsibility in ensuring that the

administration of all research grants adheres to the university’s or funding body’s guidelines. We

provide the necessary information and supports the administration and management of research

grants held by researchers.

The Office of Research & Innovation through its continuous assistance given to the various

quality research and education conducted in the School of Dental Sciences helps to support this

university in advancing knowledge and learning for the nation and humanity.

Because money generation has become one of the targeted KPIs for this school, this office via the

on-going establishment of its small business unit, will help to seek out commercial applications for

the products, services and technology the research produces.

Being part of a Research University, this office will strive to actively contribute to the

generation and dissemination of knowledge which aims to enhance the nations’s quality of life. The

Office of the Deputy Dean of Research, Postgraduate and Linkages also engages in providing

linkages to the communities at large by disseminating knowledge & information and the transfer of

technology and skills, all being done for the development and enhancement of the nation. It is also

our hope to see researchers translating their research which could benefit the bottom billion society

in the future.

This yearly report by the Research & Innovation Unit aims to disseminate information to

existing and potential researchers, stakeholders and the community at large. By exploring this 2017

Annual Report, one will be enlightened with current information on the schools’ research activities,

expertise, infrastructure and services.

Finally, thank you to all contributors of information contained in this 2017 Annual Report.

Happy reading to all!

KPI REPORT FOR YEAR 2016

KEY PERFORMANCE INDICATOR (KPI)

The research performance and standing of the school is reflected by its KPI achievement for

any particular year. The Secretariat serves to collect, analyse and submit the data collected to

the BPI (Institutional Development Institution) – a regulatory entity under USM for the purpose

of internal auditing of the school’s yearly performance. The school’s KPI yearly achievement

will be disseminated to the academic staffs so that further improvement of the subsequent

year’s performance could be achieved through rigorous concerted efforts in research.

Annual Activities Report of Stem Cell and Tissue Engineering Research Group

2017 A. Specific Introduction In School of Dental Sciences, interest in research on Stem cell started in 2003 when the

laboratory staff headed by the founder Dean went to HKL to see the blood bank facilities

for cryo cord blood collection and process procedure. This initiated our postgraduate

student to dwell into stem cell research obtained from bone marrow and cord blood.

Following the discovery of stem cell harvested from tooth in early 2000, PPSG also

explored into the same direction. Our research initially focuses on mesenchymal stem

cells harvested from human dental pulp namely SHED (Stem cell from human exfoliated

deciduous teeth) which is from the milk tooth and DPSCs (Dental pulp stem cells) obtained

from permanent tooth. Research grants looking into the cellular and molecular

characterization of stem cells derived from human exfoliated deciduous teeth was

obtained in 2005 followed by few other fundamental researches. With additional research

members, the area of research study increases. The area of research covers a wide

spectrum of interests including gene expression analysis, determination of cell lineages,

immunological responses and others. Researches in the application of these stem cells in

tissue engineering and natural products are also being looked into.

The goal of dental stem cells and tissue engineering research is to explore the

fundamental aspects and to develop their potential use in a variety of clinical application

in regenerative dentistry. Dental tissue-engineering approaches combining dental stem

cells, biodegradable, biocompatible scaffolds and exogenous growth factors are being

used to devise methods to reliably regenerate dental tissues including pulp, periodontal

tissues, alveolar bone, dentin, enamel, and salivary glands. Although not currently

available, these approaches may one day be used as biological alternatives to the

synthetic materials currently used.
