  Research Interest

  1. Evidence-based medicine in Facial Plastic Surgery The primary goal of this research program is to develop a higher standard of care for facial plastic surgery patients. One example of this is the evelopment of prospective studies that examine the efficacy of new or existing surgical techniques in facial plastic surgery. One clinical problem we have already begun to examine is nasal obstruction. 2. Examination of facial nerve injury and biological correlates of functional recovery.

  Hearing is one of the most sensitive functions controlled by thyroid hormone (TH). TH is required for the timely coordination of a complex set of differentiation events in the maturing cochlea. Hypothyroidism retards the differentiation of the cochlea, including synaptogenesis, neurogenesis and myelinogenesis. The mechanisms that prompt the progression of these developmental events are poorly understood. Our preliminary data shows that many genes are differentially regulated by thyroid hormone ..
