MUSC Vice President for Academic Affairs and Provost Dr. Mark Sothmann; Benemerita Universidad Autonoma de Puebla (BUAP) Dental School Dean Dr. Jorge Albicker; MUSC President Dr. Ray Greenberg; and College of Dental Medicine Dean Dr. Jack Sanders renew a scientific cooperation agreement between the schools Nov. 21. The collaboration was initiated in 1999 as part of a collaborative effort supporting craniofacial genetics for both BUAP undergraduate and post-graduate students in Puebla, Mexico. Dental faculty taught craniofacial genetics courses and reviewed craniofacial disorder cases and diagnoses with students. In turn, the dental school hosted BUAP faculty and pediatric dentistry residents. This agreement allows both institutions to continue their collaboration in joint activities.
