The SMMSN Summer Scholarship Symposium 2023 took place on Wednesday, 22 November 2023. This is a yearly event where summer scholarship students present their research.
This year's Summer Research students from the Institute of Dentistry were from multiple of our BDS Dentistry year groups.
Max Mcallan, BDS 3 student, won his session's Best Oral Presentation Award during the Summer Research Scholarships Symposium 2023. Max was successful in securing an Aberdeen Summer Research Scholarship for working on a project titled “Quantification of PDL-1 in normal, premalignant, and malignant oral and oropharyngeal tissues using image analysis” under the supervision of Dr Rasha Abu-Eid.
Other participants who presented their posters from the Institute of Dentistry included:
- Dobrochna Pszenna (BDS5) who was supervised by Dr Anand Lalli and Professor Khaled Khalaf – Title: Sustainability considerations for patient’s attending for dental extractions
- Scott Calvert (BDS5) who was supervised by Dr Rosa Moreno Lopez and Dr Paul Bond – Title: Which parameters in the construction of complete dentures for edentulous patients improve patient satisfaction and overall quality of life?
Congratulations to everyone involved!
