Dr. Lin moved to the United States to pursue a B.S. from Cornell University in Ithaca, NY, along with a D.M.D. and M.P.H. from Harvard University in Boston, MA. At Harvard, Dr. Lin received the Student Humanitarian Award for commitment to public health research and outreach.
Passionate about improving access to care in dentistry, Dr. Lin strives for a career as a clinician-researcher who balances both clinical work and public health policy & research.
