Description: As NIDCR celebrates its 60th aniversary in 2008, it is a pleasure to recognize that a growing cadre of new scientists and professionsals are emerging and making an impact in the oral health research community. This Symposium highlights this development by selecting five emerging scientists who fall in this group. The Symposium has no unifying theme but highlights oral health research and scientific inquery over a broad field, from the basic sciences through translational research to social and behavioral sciences. Each of these talented individuals has been, or is currently being, supported by one or more of NIDCR’s training and career development mechanisms.
