Grants & Contracts - Fuksman receives research grant
Editor's Note: Grants are published once official notification is received by Baylor College of Dentistry's Office of Research and Advanced Education.
 Egor Fuksman, clinical assistant professor and graduate
student in Baylor College of Dentistry's Caruth School of Dental Hygiene, received the John C. Thiel Research Grant from the American Dental Hygienists' Association Institute for Oral Health.
The $5,000 award encourages and supports the development of excellence in dental hygiene faculty education and research in dental hygiene by providing financial support for qualified
faculty members. Fuksman's research is titled "A Comparison of Local and Systemic Adjunctive Therapy for Chronic Adult Periodontitis."
"It is an honor to receive this award. I will use it to help complete the patients involved in my research project," Fuksman said. "The project is my master's thesis, which is
part of my requirements for a master's degree in dental hygiene."
Fuksman expects to earn a master's degree in dental hygiene from BCD in the fall of 2003. He graduated cum laude with a bachelor's degree in dental hygiene from Texas
Woman's University in 1999; he also received a bachelor's degree in biology from Austin College in 1994.
"Egor has been an exemplary graduate student; he is inquisitive, thorough and persistent," said Marylou Gutmann, professor and graduate program director of
dental hygiene. "He has been a valuable addition to our faculty and will continue to contribute to the dental hygiene scientific literature in years to come."
