Southeast Center for Research to Reduce Disparities in Oral Health
Taking the Bite out of Head and Neck Cancer
Overview
Welcome to the Southeast Center for Research to Reduce Disparities in Oral Health, a multi-disciplinary center at the University of Florida College of Dentistry built on strong community partnerships. Led by principal investigator Henrietta Logan, Ph.D., the center aims to reduce disparities in oral health among Florida’s rural populations through research and intervention projects based on the best science available and community participation. Local residents are involved in all phases, from designing research to collecting data to publicizing results and influencing public policy. With the combined forces of community involvement and scientific expertise from researchers across the University of Florida campus, the Center’s goal is to eliminate disparities in head and neck cancer prevention, detection, and survival.
