Kudos to Dr. A. Ross Kerr, clinical professor of oral & maxillofacial pathology, radiology, and medicine, who received the 2026 IADR Distinguished Scientist Award in Oral Medicine & Pathology Research during the 104th General Session of the IADR, on March 25-28, 2026 in San Diego, CA!

The Award recognizes outstanding and sustained peer-reviewed research that has contributed to the understanding of the mechanisms governing the health and disease of the oral cavity and associated structures, principally encompassing skin, bone, and the oral soft tissue.

Dr. Kerr is past President of the American Academy of Oral Medicine, and the current President and the Director of the American Board of Oral Medicine. His research is primarily focused on current and emerging methods for the screening, diagnosis, and management of patients with oral cavity squamous cell carcinoma and oral potentially malignant disorders.

NYU Pain Research Director Dr. Kara Margolis's new research shows that early life stress may lead to digestive issues later in life, driven by changes in the gut and sympathetic nervous systems. Her study, published in the journal Gastroenterology, sought to understand how stressors during pregnancy and early childhood shape the brain’s two-way communication with the gut.

“Our research shows that these stressors can have a real impact on a child's development and may influence gut issues long-term. Understanding the mechanisms involved can help us to create more targeted treatments,” said Dr. Margolis, director of the NYU Pain Research Center and professor of molecular pathobiology at NYU College of Dentistry and pediatrics and cell biology at NYU Grossman School of Medicine.
