At the Osteology Research Academy in Vienna, 13 participants from 10 countries joined experts Reinhard Gruber, Stefan Tangl, Barbara Schädl, and Markus Hartmann for an immersive experience in advanced histological techniques.🔬

Day 1 kicked off with a comprehensive introduction to hard and soft tissue processing, quantitative imaging, and hands-on workshops in small groups covering:

▫️ Cutting and grinding of hard tissue specimens
▫️ Paraffin sectioning of soft tissue specimens
▫️ Virtual microscopy and micro-CT
▫️ Quantitative backscattered electron imaging for bone mineral density analysis

Day 2 featured biomaterial research and histomorphometry led by Reinhard Gruber and Carina Kampleitner, with Patrick Heimel on micro-CT applications in research. Lab sessions deepened insights, and the day wrapped up with a cozy Viennese vineyard dinner. 🍇🍽️

Day 3 explored future-oriented techniques like single-cell RNA sequencing and topics (tooth development and preclinical models) related to oral tissue regeneration. Participants got inspired for their own research projects.✨

Missed it? Don’t worry! We have three upcoming Research Academy courses in 2025 with open seats:
🌏Clinical translation of advanced technologies - Singapore
🧪 Run a clinical and preclinical research study – Lucerne
📝Training on novel clinical research methods - Boston

🎉 NOG USA Shines at AAP Annual Meeting in San Diego!

On 31 October 2024, the National Osteology Group (NOG) USA celebrated its first anniversary during the 110th Annual Meeting of the American Academy of Periodontology.

🌟 Highlight Session: "The Art and Science of Regeneration". Six talented young clinicians, chosen from 86 exceptional cases, competed in the final round of NOG USA’s first case competition. The competition featured:

🏅 Category 1 Winner: Lan-Lin Chiou for "Soft tissue or periodontal regeneration around teeth."
🏅 Category 2 Winner: Owen Trinh for "Soft or hard tissue regeneration around implants."

Moderated by NOG USA leaders Jessica Latimer, HimaBindu Dukka, and Pooyan Refahi, the event began with an introduction by Sejal Thacker and award presentations by Shayan Barootchi. The jury, including Purnima Kumar, Pamela McClain, and Diego Velasquez, faced a tough task selecting the winners from the exceptional presentations.

💬 Panel Discussion: "What’s the Evidence?" Moderated by Purnima Kumar and featuring top experts Caitlin Darcey, Pamela McClain, Marc Nevins, Frank Schwarz, Sejal Thacker, and Hom-Lay Wang, the panel covered insights on tissue regeneration.

🔹 Overflowing Interest! The session drew such a large crowd that attendees were left standing, with some turned away due to safety limits.

🥂 Evening Celebration & Achievements: At the networking reception, Sejal Thacker celebrated NOG USA's milestone year, recognizing achievements such as the case competition, webinars, and ambassador-led activities. Special shout-out to the most active ambassadors: Neha Mithia, Shadoe Stewart, and Prita Dhaimade, acknowledged by Acela Martinez.

👏 The Osteology Foundation supported 30 residents' attendance. Our collaboration with the AAP continues to grow stronger! A big thank-you also goes to the sponsor Geistlich North America for their support of the case competition.
