The School of Dentistry is usually well represented at the annual meetings of
the American Association of Dental Research. This year was no exception.
Presenting posters and oral research reports were 11 staff, faculty, and students:
Jose F. Torres, assistant professor; James Dunn, DDS, associate professor; Gretchen
Schnepper, fourth-year dental student; Wu Zhang, MD, assistant professor; Shahrokh
Shabahang, DDS, PhD, associate professor; Michele Druan, research assistant;

The LLUSD poster presentations were distinctive by being laid out and printed
on poster material that was easily mounted onto poster boards. The intricate
work of printing and preparing the posters was done by staff in the School’s
educational support services department.

from other schools and programs, and provides a wide array of informative sessions
on how our colleagues handle educational challenges common to every faculty member.
