Biography
Professor Pelekos completed his specialist training in periodontics and implant dentistry at the Eastman Dental Institute, University College London (UCL), UK 2009, and then joined HKU Faculty of Dentistry as a Clinical Assistant Professor in 2014. He completed his PhD in 2020 from Tohoku University (JPN). He is an established clinician, educator and researcher. Professor Pelekos is the Postgraduate Programme Director in Periodontology (MDS) and Implant Dentistry (MSc). Importantly, the MDS Programme in Periodontology was accredited by the world leading organization in periodontology – the European Federation of Periodontology (EFP) in 2019 (the 1st program accredited by EFP outside Europe). In addition, he holds a Fellowship at the Royal College of Physicians & Surgeons of Glasgow, UK, and serves as a Trainer for the Periodontology Specialty at the College of Dental Surgeons of Hong Kong. Professor George’s academic career focuses on Periodontology and Implant Dentistry. His philosophy is that Periodontology is a fusion of biology, dental medicine, microbiology, immunology and behavioural science. This is reflected in his teaching, research and clinical practice. Indeed, Periodontology is his natural "habitat" at HKU, and his goal is to enhance the healthcare standard of tomorrow's periodontal specialists and general dentists and make notable contributions to the science and practice of Periodontology and Implant Dentistry. Professor Pelekos has published extensively in peer reviewed journals and has been invited to the editorial board member of the leading journal in his specialty - Journal of Clinical Periodontology. He has long served as an expert reviewer for the major scientific journals in Periodontology, Implant Dentistry and Medical/Dental Education since 2013.
