NIDCR at 75: Looking Forward

Watch as NIDCR Director Dr. Rena D'Souza takes us on a tour of the institute's accomplishments and shares her vision for the future.

Labs at a Glance

Pain really is in your head. Lab chief Dr. Mark Hoon and doctoral student Yizhen Zhang describe their work to understand how the brain modifies pain signals to change our perception of pain under different circumstances. What they learn could help scientists find safer alternatives to opioids for treating pain.

In this video, lab chief Dr. Alison Boyce and staff clinician Dr. Vivian Szymczuk of the Metabolic Bone Disorders Unit talk about the methods their lab uses to understand and test treatments for fibrous dysplasia/McCune-Albright syndrome, a rare disease of the bones, endocrine system, and skin.
