This $1,145,674 federal Project Grant award from the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD), part of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), will fund research at Case Western Reserve University to investigate the role of TMC proteins in hair cell mechanotransduction in zebrafish. Specifically, the project aims to determine if TMCs contribute differently to zebrafish hearing, the role of TMCs in hair cell mechanotransduction and lateral line-mediated...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD), under the Research Related to Deafness and Communication Disorders program (CFDA 93.173), provides $674,021 to the Massachusetts Eye and Ear Infirmary to advance the development of an implantable microphone technology for totally-implantable cochlear implants (TICI). The project aims to refine and test a novel implantable microphone design called the UMIC, which senses motion of...
This $194,400 Project Grant awarded by the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD) under CFDA 93.173 - Research Related to Deafness and Communication Disorders, will support research by the Massachusetts Eye and Ear Infirmary to investigate the role of perineuronal nets (PNNs) and microglia in the dysfunction of parvalbumin-positive interneurons (PVIs) that contributes to hyperacusis and other suprathreshold hearing disorders following sensorineural hearing loss....
This $623,777 Project Grant award from the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD), under the Research Related to Deafness and Communication Disorders Program (CFDA 93.173), supports research focused on understanding the role of the immune system and inflammation in hearing loss.
