Robert Zatorre Robert Zatorre is a cognitive neuroscientist whose laboratory studies the neural substrate for auditory cognition, with special emphasis on two complex and characteristically human abilities: speech and music. His research topics include …

Botond Roska Botond Roska's lab is interested in how neurons interact in local neuronal networks to compute behaviorally relevant functions, using the mammalian retina as a model system. Combining physiological, molecular, viral and computational …

Carla Shatz Carla Shatz is an American neurobiologist and an elected member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, the American Philosophical Society, the National Academy of Sciences, and the National Academy of Medicine. She was the first woman …

Steve Brown Steve Brown did his PhD at Cambridge University and before joining the MRC, he was Professor of Genetics at Imperial College, London. His research interests cover mouse functional genomics, including the use of mouse mutagenesis and …

Stefan Heller Stefan Heller is interested how the inner ear forms from an early stage called the otic placode. One important goal is to describe the otic lineage from an early placodal progenitor until it splits up into multiple cell types making up the …

Fan-Gang Zeng Fan-Gang Zeng founded in 2000 the Hearing and Speech (HESP) laboratory at UC Irvine. Since then, his lab has been conducting basic and translational research in the following areas to understand mechanisms underlying normal and pathological …

Tobias Moser Tobias Moser's work focuses on the molecular anatomy, physiology and pathophysiology of sound encoding and information processing in the auditory system as well as the restoration of hearing by gene replacement therapy and optogenetic …

Ingeborg Hochmair Ingeborg Hochmair is an Austrian electrical engineer from Technical University of Vienna. She helped create the first micro-electronic multi-channel cochlear implant in the world with her husband Prof. Erwin Hochmair. In 1980 she …

Robert Fettiplace Robert Fettiplace began his studies at Cambridge University, with a degree in medical sciences (1968) then a PhD in biophysics. In 1974 he joined Denis Baylor to work on turtle photoreceptors, initially at the University of Colorado, …

James Hudspeth James Hudspeth The majority of the hearing-impaired suffer from sensorineural hearing loss resulting from damage to the sensory hair cells of the inner ear. The human cochlea contains about 16,000 of these cells, which do not regenerate …

Karen Avraham Karen Avraham is Full Professor at the Department of Human Molecular Genetics and Biochemistry and Vice Dean at the Sackler Faculty of Medicine, Tel Aviv University. She is the incumbent of the Drs. Sarah and Felix Dumont Chair for Research …

May-Britt Moser May-Britt Moser is interested in the neural basis of spatial location and spatial specifically and cognition more generally. Her work, conducted with Edvard Moser as a long-term collaborator, includes the discovery of grid cells in the …
