Yejin Cho, a DMD/PhD student in the University of Pittsburgh School of Dental Medicine Department of Oral and Craniofacial Sciences, has received the NIH Ruth L. Kirschstein National Research Service Award Individual Fellowship. This award will enable an individualized, mentored research training with a current faculty member while conducting dissertation-related research in a scientific health-related field. This is the first time that a DMD/PhD student at Pitt Dental Medicine has received this award.
“I am so thankful to receive the F30 grant award from the NIH/NIDCR and believe this award will be a significant stepping stone in my career. It will help me pay for my education, continue my dissertation research, and attend the IADR/AADOCR annual conference.
This award will support me in acquiring valuable research training and mentorship to complete my PhD and help me solidify my career journey in dental, oral, and craniofacial research and guide me to become an independent clinician-scientist leading a research team. I am very grateful for all the support and resources I have received at the University of Pittsburgh School of Dental Medicine.”
