"During my dental school program, I helped participate in research on dentifrice testing and evaluation of various periodontal therapy products. I love that my experiences here were both lab and data-based because I feel I got great exposure to jump into my research as an oral surgery resident. I loved working on the data side of research and foresee a future project involving large amounts of patient data."
