Charles F. Shuler

Charles F. Shuler is a Professor in the Department of Oral Biological & Medical Sciences at the Faculty of Dentistry, University of British Columbia. He serves as a research supervisor for graduate students in the Craniofacial Science program, which offers both Master of Science and Doctor of Philosophy degrees. His academic role is integral to the research and educational mission of the Faculty of Dentistry.

Dr. Shuler's research interests lie in craniofacial science and oral biology, focusing on craniofacial development, structural disorders, and underlying biological mechanisms. This work bridges dental medicine with broader medical sciences to address congenital and acquired conditions affecting the head and face. The Craniofacial Science program at UBC emphasizes interdisciplinary approaches combining genetics, developmental biology, and clinical dentistry.

As a research supervisor, Dr. Shuler mentors graduate students through thesis-based projects in craniofacial biology. His supervision supports UBC's commitment to advancing dental research and training future specialists. Resources from the Faculty of Dentistry and Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies enable this research within UBC's comprehensive academic ecosystem.
