Research
Head & Neck Cancer
The head and neck cancer program at the King’s Health Partners / Integrated Cancer Centre (KHP/ICC) provides the framework for a group of basic scientists and clinicians with an interest in elucidating the biology of head and neck cancers.
Centre for Oral, Clinical & Translational Sciences
From toothwear to oral pathology, from facial reconstruction to oral surgery, there's one thing that all our research shares: an underlying desire to make a difference to patients and bring benefits to society. We’re particularly strong in prosthodontics and endodontics research, and our work in this field feeds into our postgraduate programmes.
