NIDCR's 60th Anniversary Symposium: Building on Our Strengths

Sponsored by: NIDCR

Description: As NIDCR celebrates its 60th aniversary in 2008, it is gratifying to acknowledge that many NIDCR-supported scientists have made highly significant and career-long contributions to the field or oral health research which have helped improve oral health conditions for Americans. NIDCR proposes to celebrate the anniversary by highlighting four individuals who continue to make high-impact contributions to oral health research. The Symposium does not have a single unifying theme, but highlights four different and important fields of oral health research. This program is financially supported by the NIDCR.
