Dental students awarded summer studentships
Congratulations to Tianhui Li (DDS 2021) and Peter Sabiri (DDS 2021), who were successful (along with 9 other DDS Students) in being awarded a 2018 Dentistry Summer Research Studentship. Li and Sabiri will be supervised by Dr. Doug Hamilton.
Tianhui Li will work on a project entitled ‘Influence of nanometric topography on human gingival cell physiology', and Peter Sabiri will work on a project entitled ‘Epsilon Sarcoglycan as a novel mediator of cell adhesion to titanium'.
In addition, Dr. Hamilton will co-supervise the following DDS students with his colleague, Dr. Amin Rizkalla: Maher Alazzam (DDS 2021) on a project entitled ‘Novel bioactive covalently bonded hybrid coatings on titanium surfaces', and Kristen Desranleau (DDS 2020) on a project entitled ‘3-D Printed Bioactive Glass-Copolymer Scaffolds for Bone Augmentation'.
The Dentistry Summer Student Research Program provides an opportunity for students enrolled in the DDS program to contribute to clinical and basic science research being performed in Schulich Dentistry. Each year, there are a limited number of Studentships awarded by competition. Learn more about Dentistry's Summer Research Program.
