2022 Fall Focused Symposium: Accelerating Translation of Tissue Engineering and Regenerative Medicine Technologies in the Dental, Oral, and Craniofacial Space  
There have been significant strides in research in regenerative approaches to the repair and restoration of dental, oral, and craniofacial (DOC) tissues, ranging from bone graft materials to regenerative endodontics to temporomandibular joint repair. Yet few regenerative medicine therapies in the DOC space have been commercialized and widely adopted clinically. Difficulties in translation are related to scientific as well as non-scientific challenges. This symposium will highlight innovative tissue engineering/ regenerative medicine research in the DOC space, as well as layout the roadmap for overcoming challenges and translating technologies to the marketplace.

Learning Objectives
  • Attendees will increase their knowledge of cutting-edge regenerative medicine approaches to a variety of clinical challenges in the DOC space.
  • Attendees will increase their understanding of the technology commercialization pathway, from academic research to clinical trials to commercialization and beyond, including regulatory requirements and market development.
  • Attendees will be provided with an armamentarium of tools to approach translation of tissue engineering/ regenerative medicine research to the marketplace and beyond.

    Dr. Sfeir is the Associate Dean for Research, Director of the Center for Craniofacial Regeneration and Chairman of the Department of Periodontics at the University of Pittsburgh. His research is multidisciplinary and translational in nature, focusing on developing therapies for craniofacial and dental diseases. Recently he has focused on 1) developing dental devices using resorbable metals for periodontal regeneration. 2) developing, in collaboration with Dr. Steve Little, chair of the department of Chemical Engineering at the University of Pittsburgh, novel treatment for periodontal disease by modulating the immune system which will be the focus of this presentation. Dr. Sfeir will present on behalf of Oraxsys Therapeutics. Launched by Orange Grove Bio in 2022, Oraxsys Therapeutics was founded with a mission to develop novel therapies for the treatment of periodontal and systemic immune pathologies. Autoimmune and inflammatory diseases commonly involve oral manifestations, and Oraxsys’ therapeutic microparticle technology allows for the controlled release of immune modulating agents directly to the oral mucosa, promoting restoration of proper immune cell function. Oraxsys is based on the work and discoveries of cofounders Dr. Charles Sfeir and Dr. Steven Little at the University of Pittsburgh and is being managed by Orange Grove Bio’s dedicated drug development team and Venture Partner Dr. Peter Alff.
