Topic: Research Ethics & Integrity: Expectations Between Mentors & Mentees And Collaborations Between Research Groups



Expert: Dr. @Eric Everett is a professor in the Division of Oral and Craniofacial Health Sciences at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill Adams School of Dentistry. He is former Associate Dean for Research at the Adams School of Dentistry and was the inaugural chair of the Department /Division of Oral and Craniofacial Health Sciences. Dr. Everett also serves the university as Director of Research Ethics, Integrity and Education and as the Institutional Research Integrity Officer (RIO) and Responsible Conduct of Research (RCR) Coordinator. As RIO he administers the written policies and procedures for addressing allegations of research misconduct. As RCR Coordinator he is responsible for assuring that the University fosters a research environment that promotes the responsible conduct of research and discourages research misconduct. Dr. Everett trained as a geneticist and the overarching focus of the Everett Lab has been on the identification of genes and pathways that play key roles during embryonic and postnatal development of craniofacial/oral/dental structures. For the past 27 years he has been interested in how genes and pathways contribute to the pathogenesis of congenital (e.g., cleft palate) and acquired disorders of craniofacial development (e.g., dental fluorosis) as well as to normal craniofacial variation. One area of longstanding research interest has focused on fluoride's actions during amelogenesis (tooth enamel formation) and on bone homeostasis (osteoclastogenesis and the parathyroid hormone axis). Dr. Everett is an AADOCR Fellow. In 2021 Dr. Everett was honored as the recipient of the International Association for Dental Research (IADR) Distinguished Scientist Basic Research in Biological Mineralization Award.
