Fantastic coast to coast to coast collaboration by the entire oral health community to develop the inaugural oral health research strategy. 2024-2030 @leigharock1 Paul Allison @CIHR_IRSC Launched today by @markhollandlib
The smile on your face when you finish undergoing an NIH - NCI site audit with flying colours. It was a pleasure to host the NIH - National Cancer Institute auditor for our phase IIb chemoprevention trial. Of course we had to send the auditor off with a little @DalDentistry swag.
Thrilled to announce the website for the Rock Laboratory. We drive and support research that is targeted, actionable, and translational with a goal of producing innovative solutions to combat the burden of oral cancer on a local and global scale.
