The Oral Medicine, Pathology and Surgery Group (OMPSG) is a research group of the British Society for Dental Research. The aim of the group is to promote and encourage research in all areas relating to oral medicine, oral pathology and surgery. The Group encourages membership from those who are basic scientists or have a clinical training, particularly those at an early stage of their careers. We aim to provide an environment to foster collaboration and the exchange of research findings. The Group will organise symposia which are relevant to its members at BSODR and PER-IADR meetings whenever possible and foster links with the Oral Medicine and Pathology Group of IADR.
