Maurizio Risolino, PhD, has authored the winning proposal for the 2016 Damsky Award (Program in Craniofacial Biology FY16-17 Exploratory Grants Initiative).
The award is supported by an endowed fund established by Caroline Damsky, PhD, longtime researcher and faculty member at UCSF. The fund supports projects developed by trainees and junior faculty in related oral health clinical specialties, such as orthodontics and craniofacial anomalies, that propose to mine the Craniofacial Center’s data for new insights into the etiology and treatment of craniofacial defects.
Risolino’s proposal is "Prenatal Repair of Cleft Lip/Palate by Reactivation of Developmental Programs." He is in Dr. Licia Selleri’s lab in the Program in Craniofacial Biology.
