Dr. Zeeshan Sheikh is trained as a dental clinician and a biomaterial scientist with clinical and research degrees of BDS, MSc and PhD in dentistry. He has more than 6 years of clinical experience in private and hospital based dentistry. After graduating as a dentist, he worked as a dental surgeon for 2 years before proceeding to obtain an MSc degree in dental and biomaterials from Queen Mary, University of London (QMUL) with distinction. During his MSc he worked upon synthesizing and characterizing novel polymeric guided tissue regeneration (GTR) membranes for periodontal regeneration applications. He then joined Altamash Institute of Dental Medicine (AIDM) as Head of the Department of Dental Materials and Preclinical Dentistry (2007). He also continued to work as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Oral Anatomy. He then proceeded to obtain a PhD from McGill University, Faculty of Dentistry (2014). During his PhD his work was related to bone grafting and augmentation for maxillofacial and orthopaedic applications using alloplastic bone replacement graft materials. Dr. Sheikh has been associated with NCOHR for quite some time. He was part of the organizing committee of the 2nd NCOHR student workshop held in the University of Alberta, June 2014. He was also one of the organizers with Dr. Santerre and Dr. Yaov Fiener for the NCOHR TTC Workshops 30th–31st July, 2015, University of Toronto, Ontario, Canada.
