Professor Simon Tran is a scientist and educator whose research spans stem cell biology, regenerative medicine, tissue engineering, biomaterials, organoids, bioprinting, and translational therapeutics. In 2024, he was appointed Canada Research Chair (Tier 1) in Craniofacial Tissue Engineering and Stem Cells, recognizing his leadership and pioneering contributions to regenerative medicine and salivary gland research.

The McGill Craniofacial Tissue Engineering and Stem Cells Laboratory is dedicated to understanding how stem cells, biomaterials, and bioengineered tissues can be harnessed to restore function in damaged craniofacial organs and tissues. The laboratory investigates the biology of adult stem and progenitor cells from salivary glands, oral tissues, periodontal tissues, and other craniofacial structures, while developing innovative three-dimensional (3D) culture systems that mimic native tissue microenvironments.

A major focus of the laboratory is the development of next-generation regenerative therapies for patients suffering from Sjögren's disease, radiation-induced salivary gland injury following head and neck cancer treatment, and other conditions that result in irreversible tissue damage and loss of function. Research programs integrate stem cell therapy, extracellular vesicles, biomaterials, hydrogels, organotypic tissue models, organoids, biofabrication, 3D bioprinting, artificial intelligence, and precision regenerative medicine to create clinically translatable solutions.

Professor Tran's work has contributed significantly to advances in salivary gland regeneration, craniofacial tissue engineering, hydrogel-based regenerative therapies, stem-cell derived tissue repair, salivary diagnostics, and bioengineered microtissues. His research has been published in leading journals and has received more than 11,000 citations, reflecting its broad impact on regenerative medicine and oral health sciences worldwide.

The laboratory provides a highly collaborative and multidisciplinary training environment that brings together researchers from dentistry, medicine, engineering, oncology, biomaterials science, and artificial intelligence. Trainees gain expertise in a wide range of advanced methodologies, including:
