NANOMECHANICAL PROPERTIES OF CALCIFIED TISSUES

1997年7月，我们任命理查德·加拉格尔博士 机构DSA，谁是追求一个综合方案相结合， 生物工程学博士，并接受过生物学专业培训。 博士 加拉格尔在亚利桑那州立大学接受了土木工程培训 大学（BSCE，1986年; MSC 3，1988年），随后进入牙科 在UCSF的学校。 在完成DDS后，他成为第一个 牙科学生被接受进入校园博士课程在 加州大学旧金山分校和加州大学伯克利分校的生物工程专业。 以前支持 生物工程和口腔生物学培训赠款。 拉格尔医生 1997年通过博士资格考试， 在过去的两年里，临床药理学是他专业的一部分， 在我们的邻居学校，大学， 太平洋，在一个独特的大学间的计划。 这些努力也 包括大量的临床研究工作， 1999年国际发展成果评估报告。 他所做的努力必然是有限的 在他的论文研究领域的纳米机械性能的 钙化组织在格雷森马歇尔博士的实验室，但将重点 更多关于1999年夏季开始的这项活动的信息。 如所指出 此前，他在这一领域的工作已在1998年AADR（请 见C节，出版物）。 加拉格医生在 他的综合DSA计划的所有方面。

In July of 1997, we appointed Dr. Richard Gallagher to this institutional DSA, who is pursuing an integrated program combining the PhD in bioengineering with specialty training in orthodontics. Dr. Gallagher received his civil engineering training at Arizona State University (BSCE, 1986; MSC 3, 1988) and subsequently entered dental school at UCSF. Following completion of his DDS, he became the first dental student to be accepted into the intercampus PhD program in bioengineering at UCSF and UC-Berkeley. Previously supported by training grants in bioengineering and oral biology. Dr. Gallagher passed his PhD qualifying examination in 1997 and has focused on clinical orthodontics for the past two years as part of his specialty training in orthodontics at our neighbor school, the University of the Pacific, in a unique inter-university program. These efforts have also included a substantial clinical research effort that resulted in several 1999 IADR presentations. He has necessarily had a m ore limited effort in his dissertation research in the area of nanomechanical properties of calcified tissues in Dr. Grayson Marshall's laboratory, but will focus more on this activity beginning in the summer of 1999. As noted previously, his work in this area was presented at the 1998 AADR (please see section C, Publications). Dr. Gallagher is making good progress in all aspects of his integrated DSA program.
