Students share research at international conference

The International Association for Dental Research held its 99th General Session on July 21-24, virtually bringing together dental researchers from around the globe.

From the Schulich School of Medicine & Dentistry, five Dentistry learners presented their research projects, including Vladyslav Podskalniy, who was selected as the Canadian representative for the IADR Hatton Competition.

Three additional PhD candidates from across Western University presented research that was supervised by Dentistry faculty members. Dr. Noha Gomaa also supervised a project for a DDS candidate from the University of Toronto, who had conducted her research through Schulich Medicine & Dentistry.

Congratulations to all the investigators on their successful presentations.
