Hearing Restoration

ERBB2/3 Activation after Cochlear Damage.  We are conducting investigations into the timing, delivery, and sequelae of ERBB2/3 activation after cochlear damage.  Preliminary data indicates that the genetic activation of ERBB2/3 in supporting cells may improve hearing outcomes after noise damage.  These experiments are funded by our NIH R01, and by internal grants through the Schmitt Foundation and UR Ventures.
