NSU COLLEGE OF DENTAL MEDICINE © 3 CDM Researchers Dream By Michelle F. Solomon Big About the Center for Collaborative Research For Richard Singer, D.M.D., M.S., the new Center for Collaborative Research (CCR), a 215,000-square-foot, $80-million facility, will add greater resources for students engaged in the College of Dental Medicine’s (CDM) master’s degree program to collab- orate and interact with an active research community. For Cristina Garcia-Godoy, D.D.S., the new center will expose the predoctoral student research committee that she co-mentors to other disciplines and new research ideas and help them broaden their scope outside of the usual research topics in dentistry. For Umadevi Kandalam, Ph.D., the CCR will provide her with the expertise from various disciplines to further her research in bone regeneration using stem cells.
