"CTOR is the perfect place that offers an opportunity to learn, improve, and develop my basic science research foundation. The CTOR lab allowed me to learn from my peers in other professions, such as histology and biomaterials, and also taught me to be a good investigator and a great presenter in both national and international meetings. CTOR offered me a robust experience and inspires me to even further dedicate my life to biological science and helped me determine my future education and career goals."

Fellows 2015 - 2016

"CTOR bridges the gap between the laboratory science research and the clinical practice. The excitement of engaging in the world-class research and observing the exchange of ideas among eminent orthodontic investigators captivated me. I was very blessed to be a part of CTOR as a fellow, and have the opportunity to participate in the most challenging, yet exciting research projects under the great mentorship of Dr. Alikhani and Dr. Teixeira. In one short year, CTOR became my second home; it enhanced my critical thinking skills, and taught me how to become a passionate researcher and a better evidence-based clinician. CTOR was an exceptional life changing experience that I will always remember throughout my career."

"Before I was in CTOR, although I was working with patients in the clinic, I always felt limited in my job. Even though I did not know exactly what it was, when I met Dr. Teixeira and heard about CTOR program, it made my heart beat fast. So, I decided to quit my career in my country and to move the US. After 1 year here, I can confidently say that this experience will change my life as an orthodontist forever and I am not just a technician following a set path, but a pioneer who can bring innovation into orthodontics and by extension into the of future dentistry.
Thank you CTOR for helping me have this life-changing experience."

"When I read about what CTOR has been doing for the advancement of Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopedics, I just wanted to become a Fellow to work in those research projects. CTOR Program has given me the opportunity to learn how to do basic science research and to grow professionally learning from different scientist at NYUCD. The program has also allowed me to meet other scientist at HSS (Hospital for Special Surgery) and Sloan Kettering Cancer center which have been very helpful teaching me different techniques. My first year at CTOR was very enriching which made me think seriously about continuing for one more year to complete the projects I was working on. The program has taught me critical thinking and how to offer better and safer treatments to patients. I am absolutely confident that being at CTOR will help me to become a better clinician. CTOR, an experience I will never regret."
