Neil Goldsworthy and his legacy: Sydney's Institute of Dental Research

Dr. Neil Goldsworthy had a profound effect on the development of dental
research in the biological sciences in Australia, including measures for
the prevention of dental caries. He played a major role in the
establishment of the Institute of Dental Research in Sydney in 1946 and was
Director until his sudden death in 1960. Reviewing the Institute's
activities provides the opportunity for his achievements to receive due
recognition and to show how they influenced its subsequent development. As
one who has been associated with the Institute for most of the last 50
years, it is an honor for me to undertake this task.
