ADR awards 2012 Neal W. Chilton Fellowship in Clinical Research to Bing-Yan Wang

The American Association for Dental Research (AADR) has announced Bing-Yan Wang, as the 2012 AADR Neal W. Chilton Fellowship in Clinical Research recipient. She will be recognized at the AADR Annual Meeting & Exhibition in Tampa, Florida, March 24, 2012.

Wang is an associate professor in the Department of Periodontics at the University of Texas Health Science Center, Houston. The Neal W. Chilton Fellowship will support Wang in clinical testing of a mouthwash efficient in eliminating different oral bacteria in vitro in their biofilm forms. Although in vitro results have been promising, a clinical study is essential in determining the efficacy of the mouthwash in humans.

Sponsored by the Task Force on Design and Analysis in Dental and Oral Research and established in memory of Neal W. Chilton, the late executive director of the Task Force on Design and Analysis in Dental and Oral Research, a clinician and statistician who made major contributions to the advancement of clinical research in dentistry, the Neal W. Chilton Fellowship was designed to enable dental clinical faculty to obtain training in clinical research. The Fellowship provides a $5,000 stipend and an additional $1,500 for travel.
