CV
Filippo Da Pozzo , MD , graduated in 2017 with the highest grades in Medicine and Surgery at the University of Milan . Since 2015 he has been attending the university department of Oral and Maxillofacial surgery at the polyclinic hospital Fondazione IRCCS Ca ' Granda in Milan . He is currently a member of the research staff in the Laboratory of Functional Anatomy of the Stomatognathic System - LAFAS , Department of Biomedical Sciences for Health at the University of Milan , Milan , Italy . His fields of research are the morphological and metrical assessment of anatomical characteristics of craniofacial structures , including their modifications with pathology and treatment .
