New Editor-in-Chief at the Journal of Dentistry
12 January 2011
Dr Chris Lynch, Senior Lecturer and Honorary Consultant in Restorative Dentistry at Cardiff University, has been appointed Editor-in-Chief of Journal of Dentistry. Dr Lynch graduated from University College Cork, Ireland and was appointed to his current post at Cardiff University in 2006. Dr Lynch replaces Professor Damien Walmsley, University of Birmingham, who is stepping from the Editor-in-Chief role following a successful nine year term.
The Journal of Dentistry is described as the leading international dental journal in Restorative Dentistry. Commenting on his appointment, Dr Lynch noted that Journal of Dentistry has a proud and successful heritage, with eminent former and current Editors-in-Chief such as Professor Nairn Wilson (1986 – 2000) and Professor Damien Walmsley (2002 – 2011). Dr Lynch's ambition is that the Journal of Dentistry will continue to be a leading international dental publication, with an emphasis on publishing high-quality research that has the anticipated impact of influencing the practice of dentistry at clinician, researcher, industry and policy-maker levels on an international basis.
