Dear Colleagues, 

We are pleased to announce that the Dentistry Journal 2021 Travel Award (800 Swiss Francs) has been granted to Mr. Shawn Alexander Hallett, a Ph.D. student at the School of Dentistry, University of Michigan, USA.

 Mr. Hallett’s work focuses on the fields of molecular pathways governing endochondral bone development and regeneration. He plans to attend the "American Society for Bone and Mineralization Research" 2021 Annual Meeting in San Diego, California, USA, to present his work entitled “Contribution of PTHrP-expressing Chondrocytes in the Cranial base Synchondrosis”. 

With so many high-quality applicants, both the evaluation process and final decision were challenging. We would like to thank all of the applicants for submitting their diverse and fascinating range of research topics. On behalf of the Assessment Committee, I congratulate the winner on his accomplishment. 

Prof. Dr. Claude Jaquiéry
