I am delighted to report that our research group at Boston University has won a prestigious international award for our work on the cost effectiveness of oral health screenings to detect cancer. Representing the group was Richa Wahi, a first year dental student at Boston University. The award ceremony was held last Thursday night at the Hynes Convention Center during the 2015 annual meeting of the International Association of Dental Research. In addition to Richa and Dr. Zavras, members of the group include Tong Xiao, Boris Ryabtsev and Sarah Stein.
