Marco Cícero Bottino

Marco C. Bottino, DDS, MSc, PhD, FADM, holds the position of Associate Professor (tenured) in the Department of Cariology, Restorative Sciences, and Endodontics. Before joining the University of Michigan, he was Associate Professor of Biomedical and Applied Sciences and Graduate Program Director in Dental Biomaterials at Indiana University School of Dentistry. He received his Doctorate of Dental Science (DDS) degree in 2001 from Universidade Paulista (São Paulo, Brazil), his master?s degree in Nuclear Technology in 2005 from the University of São Paulo (Institute for Energy & Nuclear Research, São Paulo, Brazil), and his doctorate in Materials Science in 2010 from The University of Alabama at Birmingham (Birmingham, AL). Marco received Young Investigator Awards from the International Association for Dental Research (IADR) Pulp Biology and Implantology Research Groups and a prestigious Mentored Clinical Scientist Research Career Development Award from the National Institute for Dental and Craniofacial Research. In addition, Dr. Bottino recently received the IADR Centennial Emerging Leader Award. He is a member of National Institutes of Health (NIH) study sections and has served and continues to serve as the principal investigator for several NIH, foundations, and industry grants. Marco is an elected Fellow of the Academy of Dental Materials (ADM), the Sr. Past-President of the Dental Materials Group of the IADR, and a member of the editorial board of several journals. His research interests are the design and synthesis of tissue scaffolds, drug delivery systems, and stem cell therapies to regenerate dental, oral, and craniofacial tissues. His current research foci are the development of drug delivery systems for ablating oral infections, injectable scaffolds for pulp-dentin complex regeneration, personalized scaffolds for craniomaxillofacial bone and periodontal regeneration, as well as soft tissue reconstruction. More recently, with the acquisition of a unique Bioprinting platform, his laboratory continues to expand the regenerative dentistry program to address other oral and craniofacial challenges.
