Central auditory processing disorders (CAPD) are complex and without any known cause. A 2016 Emerging Research Grants (ERG) recipient generously funded by Royal Arch Research Assistance, Elizabeth McCullagh, Ph.D., describes her work on auditory difficulties in Fragile X syndrome, the most common single-gene form of autism spectrum disorders, as well as give an overview on CAPD and what is currently known in the field. McCullagh is an assistant professor in the department of integrative biology at Oklahoma State University.
HHF research webinars highlight the significant findings by Emerging Research Grants scientists. Our ERG program provides seed funding to early stage investigators, including in underfunded areas of otology, and these Zoom presentations underscore the critical impact this funding has had on both research advances as well as the scientists themselves. All sessions include an interactive Q&A with the speaker.
The series is moderated by Anil K. Lalwani, M.D., a member of HHF's Board of Directors and the head of HHF's Council of Scientific Trustees, which oversees the ERG program. He is a professor and the vice chair for research in the department of otolaryngology–head and neck surgery, the associate dean for student research at Columbia University Vagelos College of Physicians and Surgeons, and a co-director at the Columbia Cochlear Implant Program.
