Dr. Takeo Suzuki won award!! (Sep/03/2009) Dr. Takeo Suzuki, a former Japanese visiting scholar mentored by Dr. Takahiro Ogawa in the Weinraub Center (2006-2009), received the first place poster competition in Pre-Prosthetic Regenerative Science Award for Young Investigators at the 2009 Annual Meeting of the Inter National Association for Dental Research (IADR). His work, published by Tissue engineering, entitled “UV Treatment Dominates Time-Related Deteriorative Bioactivity of Titanium” was his PhD paper at the Department of Oral Pathology at the Aichi-Gakuin University School of Dentistry. His paper indicated an aging-like time-related degradation of titanium bioactivity and novel rejuvenation-like photo-functionalization of titanium to overcome the age-related biological degradation. He places this paper for important level because he believes this paper could help for clinical implantology.
Dr. Cristiane Mengatto won 2 awards!! (Sep/03/2009) Dr. Cristiane Mengatto, a former Brazilian visiting scholar mentored by Dr. Ichiro Nishimura in the Weintraub Center (2008), received the third place poster competition at the 2008 UCLA Inaugural Research Day Award Competition and the First Place Arthur Frechette Award in Prosthodontics for her research undertaken with a Biological Sciences and Tissue Engineering oriented protocol, at the 2009 Annual Meeting of the International Association of Dental Research (IADR) in Miami Florida. Her work entitled “New signature of osseointegration: does vitamin-D deficiency change expression profiles?” has pointed a new set of genes that participates on osseointegration process and may be critical for a successful peri-implant healing outcome. Dr. Mengatto who completed her PhD at the Department of Prosthodontics and Periodontology at the Piracicaba School of Dentistry, State University of Campinas (FOP/UNICAMP), in Brazil, was supported by the Brazilian Government Fellowship (CAPES).
