Professor Nairn Wilson, Dean of King's College London Dental Institute, has been honoured by the University of Brescia, Italy, with the conferment of the title of Cultore Della Materia delle discipline Odontostomatologiche, the University's equivalent of Visiting Professor.

Professor Wilson was presented with his scroll at the ninth Anglo-Italian Colloquium held in Brescia between 5-8 May.

'This is a tremendous accolade, which I will greatly treasure,' said Professor Wilson. 'I wish the highly successful, long-established collaboration between the Dental Institute and the Dental School of the University of Brescia every success in the future.'
