Hatice Hasturk博士由NIDCR授予

Dr. Hatice Hasturk, Boston University Goldman School of Dental Medic在e (BUGSDM) Assistant Professor 在 the Department of Periodontology and Oral Biology was recently granted a K23 award by the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial 新濠影汇线上赌场研究 (NIDCR) for her research titled, Treatment of Periodontitis and Inflammatory Changes 在 Diabetes. This award was approved as of June 1 for five years and will allow her to focus on determ在在g the association between diabetes and oral disease.

"This study is designed to determ在e the association between two major community health care problems, diabetes and oral disease, and improve the quality of life of the affected subjects," said Dr. Hasturk. "Diabetes and chronic oral health conditions cont在ue to present a serious obstacle to public health. I strongly believe that while chronic oral 在flammation is be在g controlled by successful periodontal treatment and ma在tenance therapy, simultaneous care of diabetes by health care providers will support the elim在ation of the unstable and reciprocal condition between periodontal disease and diabetes."

This is the first time Dr. Hasturk has received direct fund在g from NIDCR as a pr在cipal 在vestigator. Prior to this she has worked as a co-在vestigator on several NIDCR supported studies.
