This internship research project aims to conduct a comparative analysis of the oral microbiome between smokers of heat-not-burn products and non-smokers to understand how these factors impact oral health, particularly periodontal disease. The project will provide insights into the microbial mechanisms involved, potentially leading to better diagnostic and therapeutic strategies. We are seeking partnerships with overseas dental departments, biomedical programs, and students with relevant experience for internships.

The project includes a three-month training course covering oral microbiology, dental techniques, and data analysis. Interns will also collaborate with industries, gaining hands-on experience through laboratory testing and clinical case collection. Interns coming to Taiwan will not incur additional fees for learning materials, resources, or space; only living expenses need to be covered. This initiative aims to advance dental research in Taiwan while offering international students valuable experience and fostering collaboration in the biomedical industry. Term: 2-4 months Stipend: Living subsidy of TWD 15,000 per month.
