IADR Toshio Nakao Fellowship

The 89th General Session of the International Association for Dental Research was held last week in San Diego, CA, USA. I was officially awarded the IADR Toshio Nakao Fellowship during the opening ceremony. This Fellowship is generously supported by GC Corporation with the intention to "allow a young investigator to obtain training and experience in dental materials science at a center of excellence". In my case, this means six months post-doctoral research at the University of Edinburgh, Great Britain, commencing in June 2011. It was truly an honour to be among the distinguished scientists whose work has been recognized by the IADR, the leading international organisation in dental research. I am grateful to the IADR and GC Corporation for support. This Fellowship will help me continue research on dental adhesives, particularly monomer to polymer conversion and hybridisation of dentine.
