http://www.iupui.edu/~solctr/research/ Through the Solution Center, IUPUI will share its expertise in research, from unraveling the mysteries of Genomics to economic and community development. The Solution Center identifies and strengthens campus connections that allow industry representatives and businesses to access resesearch, resources, and technology available at IUPUI. http://www.iupui.edu/~solctr/research/details.php?id=450 BiCCHEC fosters multidisciplinary research collaborations that address the biological, cultural, historical, legal, behavioral and demographic issues that impact the health status of communities where Latinos are born and where they live in Indiana. BiCCHEC, with a commitment not only to research but also to teaching and service, develops and utilizes approaches and applications that are culturally relevant, practical, just, reciprocal, and always in partnership with communities. The Center’s researchers work in the following areas: Oral health Nutrition Behaviors and social determinants of health Obesity and Type 2 diabetes Health implications of the immigration phenomena International service-learning, including: Preparation of students for immersion experiences Issues of cultural sensitivity Diversity and global (vs. domestic) civic responsibility Implementation of service projects responsive to community needs as part of service learning programs. Promotion of community-oriented primary care, community service, education and advocacy following the model of community engaged scholarship http://www.iupui.edu/~solctr/research/details.php?id=248 The mission of this laboratory is to support a wide range of mechanical and physical property testing. Expertise in adhesive dentistry, polymers, bone/implant interfaces and ceramic fabrication and failure analysis, and ADA/ANSI - ISO Specification testing can be found. The laboratory conducts research testing for researchers from other research institutions and industry. http://www.iupui.edu/~solctr/research/details.php?id=301 Long regarded by academic peers and industry as a leading center for preventive dentistry research, the Oral Health Research Institute has served as Indiana University School of Dentistry\\\'s core research facility for over four decades. http://www.iupui.edu/~solctr/research/details.php?id=463 Emphasizing research, cessation, and education, the ultimate goal of the Tobacco Cessation and Biobehavioral Center is to move Indiana out of the group of states with the most tobacco users and tobacco-related diseases to a group of states with the least. The basic science research component of the Center will initially look at the effect of tobacco on oral health. The behavioral research component of the Center will focus on developing a unified system of referral treatment and follow-up for patients looking to break the nicotine addiction. The educational component will reduce the number of tobacco-related illnesses in Indiana in two ways: First, by graduating researchers and advocates who advance scientific and behavioral knowledge about tobacco and its systemic and oral-ill effects; and second, by training health professional students to provide their patients with specific tobacco cessation techniques and intervention strategies.
