Dimensions Welcomes a New Editorial Advisory Board Member
Dimensions of Dental Hygiene is thrilled to announce the addition of David T. Wu, DMD, DMSc, FRCDC, to its Editorial Advisory Board. He is the director of Advanced Graduate Periodontology in the Department of Oral Medicine, Infection, and Immunity at Harvard School of Dental Medicine (HSDM) in Boston, USA. Dr. Wu is a Diplomate of the American Board of Periodontology and a Fellow of the Royal College of Dentists of Canada in Periodontics.
As a clinician-scientist, Wu’s mission is to bridge the gap between scientific discoveries and clinical impact by translating tissue engineering from bench to clinic. His research focuses on developing cell-instructive biomaterials for dental, oral, and craniofacial regeneration, medical devices for wound healing and drug delivery, and in vitro tissue models that replicate oral health and disease for therapeutics screening and validation.
His research is featured in top scientific journals and he has received several honors, including the Gold Medal Fellowship for Excellence in Dental Research by the American Dental Association, the Balint Orban Award for Excellence in Basic Science Research from the American Academy of Periodontology, and the Dr. D. Walter Cohen Teaching Award and Educator Scholarship from the American Academy of Periodontology Foundation.
