Alexandria, Va., USA – The Worldwide Affiliation for Dental Analysis (IADR) introduced Lauren Katz, College of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, USA, because the 2021 recipient of the IADR Osteology Basis New Investigator Award in Oral Tissue Regeneration. Katz was acknowledged through the Opening Ceremonies of the digital 99th Common Session & Exhibition of the IADR, held along side the fiftieth Annual Assembly of the American Affiliation for Dental Analysis (AADR) and the forty fifth Annual Assembly of the Canadian Affiliation for Dental Analysis (CADR), on July 21-24, 2021.
