In this installment of Hearing Health Hour, Hearing Restoration Project scientific director Lisa Goodrich, Ph.D., and consortium member and past Emerging Research Grants scientist Ronna Hertzano, M.D., Ph.D., discuss the biology of inner ear hair cell regeneration, the HRP’s current work, and the direction of future research. The presentation provides a broad overview of the techniques and tools central to the effort—including those developed by HRP scientists—and some of the challenges facing researchers in this endeavor. This webinar originally aired on July 12, 2021.
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.
