Generations of Regeneration

In our third podcast interview our hosts Myron Tucker and Andrea Boidman sit down and talk with Robert Guldberg, PhD.

Before Osteo Science Foundation launched in 2013, our dear friend and colleague, R. Gilbert Triplett, DDS, PhD, was part of the initial conversations with Dr. Philip Boyne and Dr. Peter Geistlich on how to structure Osteo Science Foundation in a way that would support Oral and CranioMaxillofacial Surgery research and education in regenerative medicine.  From that early involvement to his role as the inaugural Chair of the Foundation’s Scientific and Clinical Review Committee, the Board and Staff of Osteo Science Foundation remain grateful to Dr. Triplett for his vision and guidance in helping to establish Osteo Science Foundation as a leader in regenerative medicine.

Most recently Dr. Triplett, along with Jay P. Malmquist, DMD, and Todd Scantlebury, authored and edited the Osteo Science Foundation Collagen White Paper, which has become an authority on the use of collagen in OMFS procedures.

Dr. Triplett’s recent recognition by the American Association of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons as the 2020 recipient of the prestigious R.V. Walker Distinguished Service Award is testament to his influence not only at the OMFS program Texas A&M College of Dentistry but also among the community at large.

We are pleased to share below a special podcast edition featuring Dr. Triplett, as well as messages from the Osteo Science Foundation Chair, Alan S. Herford, DDS, MD, and the incoming Chair of our Scientific and Clinical Review Committee, David Frost, DDS. Thank you to the AAOMS for allowing us to republish a wonderful article recently appearing in AAOMS Today about Dr. Triplett’s background and contributions to OMFS.

We hope that you will share with Osteo Science Foundation our heartfelt and sincere gratitude to Dr. Triplett for shaping and leading the Clinical and Scientific Review Committee as the Chair from 2014-2020.  As we look forward, we know that Dr. Triplett’s influence and expertise will continue to shape the future grant making strategies of the Foundation.

On a personal note, I would like to thank Dr. Triplett for his counsel and leadership as I learned an entirely new field when I became the Executive Director almost seven years ago.  A better teacher could not be found, and I am so appreciative of Dr. Triplett’s patience, passion for patient-centered research, and commitment to the OMFS community.
