The University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) School of Dentistry announced that 23 predoctoral students, a record number, will participate in summer research fellowships.
A range of research topics, including stem cells, craniofacial development, biomaterials, laser technology, health literacy, and health policy, have been funded, according the school.
"We are thrilled this year to have a record number of fellows participate in the 2016 Summer Research Fellowship Program," stated Lisa Chung, DDS, MPH, an associate professor in the department of preventive and restorative dental sciences at UCSF, in a release. "Each year I'm impressed with the ambitious proposals and what is actually achieved during the summer period, and I suspect this year will be no different."
Fellowship selection was based on the scientific merit of the proposals and also the anticipated training potential and research experience to be gained in the projects.
