A spokesperson said: “This year’s pump-priming grants have been presented to a group of exceptional applicants, and we are proud to support their proposed research.”

Among the 11 awardees are:

  • Dr Kitty Guo, Clinical Lecturer in Restorative Dentistry at the University of Dundee (Does periodontal disease status impact the carriage of the pathobiont Fusobacterium nucleatum and what are the implications of this on systemic disease?).
  • Dr Colin Ritchie, University of Dundee (Development and validation of an analytical model for the orthodontic treatment of anterior open bite correction by molar tooth intrusion using clinical observations, engineering testing and predictive engineering modelling.)

Professor Sondos Albadri, Chair of the FDS Research Committee, said: “It’s always a highlight for me to see the high standard of applications we receive for our pump priming grants.

“Once again, the sheer quality and passion from early career researchers across all specialties have been inspiring. Our ongoing collaboration with the specialist societies continues to be a real strength, and it’s something I deeply value.”
