Byrd's research interest focuses primarily in adult stem cells and their application for human health. His research areas include: how the lining of the oral cavity protects the head and neck from microbes, toxins, and injury; technologies for better post-operative wound healing and soft tissue grafting; and continuing work to contribute to the human cell atlas for categorizing the unique and undiscovered cell types that contribute to oral and craniofacial diseases.
