The Duke Cleft and Craniofacial Center recently had ten abstracts accepted for podium presentations at the American Cleft Palate-Craniofacial Association Annual Meeting to be held March 31–April 4, 2020. This number shatters any prior single year performance for the Duke team.
The Cleft and Craniofacial team is the oldest interdisciplinary, collaborative, clinical/academic program at Duke. Every aspect of Duke's interdisciplinary research team is represented in the accepted abstracts: social work, coordination, speech, audiology, otolaryngology/head and neck, and plastic surgery.
"Dr. Alexander Allori deserves a lot of credit for being the catalyst to this process, inspiring and challenging us all to get out and try to show the world the great things we have been doing here every single day for a long time."
-Dr. Jeffrey Marcus, Chief of Plastic, Maxillofacial, and Oral Surgery and Director of the Duke Cleft and Craniofacial Center
