Biography
Dr. Wenlian Zhou is a unique dental educator and practicing dentist, who received her degrees in this profession from both China and the United States. She is a graduate of University of Nevada Las Vegas (UNLV) School of Dental Medicine with Thomas Nowlin Award. Prior to this, Dr. Zhou earned a D.D.S. degree in general dentistry and a Ph.D. degree in orthodontics from Beijing Medical University and Peking University Health Science Center, respectively, followed by more than 10 years of practice in general dentistry and orthodontics. In 1998, she was invited to work on a project “The Morphology and Structure of the Craniofacial Bone of Human Beings Using Advanced Moiré’s Topography and Anthropometry” as the principal researcher by the Chinese Academy of Sciences for 18 months. All these opportunities and experiences have exposed her to both oriental and western cultural backgrounds in her approach to dental education, research and clinical practice.
