Sonja N. Koerner Hearing Regeneration Lab
Our Research Focus: Advancing Inner Ear Research and Health
Our research bridges basic science and practical applications to improve hearing and balance health. We study how the inner ear develops and investigate the potential for regeneration, aiming to turn our findings into real-world solutions. Our work is centered on three main areas:
1. Better Diagnostics: We work on finding markers in the inner ear that help diagnose issues and track how well treatments are working.
2. Regenerative Medicine: We study how sensory cells and neurons in the ear grow and the potential to regenerate, hoping to use this knowledge for new treatments.
3. Innovative Treatments: We develop non-invasive ways to deliver medications directly to the inner ear.
Our goal is to turn our scientific discoveries into better ways to diagnose and treat hearing and balance disorders.
