A deeper understanding of hearing loss and vestibular deficits is invaluable for treating deafness and imbalance

   

Research

The goals of the Nicolson lab research are to understand the molecular basis of the senses of hearing and balance.

The majority of genes that we have identified in behavioral screens for auditory/vestibular deficits are implicated in human hearing loss.

Our Team

Our state-of-the-art lab is located in Biomedical Innovation Building (BMI) built in  2020 on Stanford Medicine campus.

We work to gain deeper understanding of hearing loss and vestibular deficits is invaluable for treating deafness and imbalance.

Exploring Innovations in Hearing Loss Treatment

In an article by Rolling Stone, renowned musician Paul Simon shares his personal journey with hearing loss and the profound impact it has had on his career. The article highlights groundbreaking research led by scientists from the Stanford Initiative to Cure Hearing Loss, who are studying zebrafish and mouse models of hearing loss and/or hair-cell regeneration to uncover potential cures for hearing impairment in humans. These efforts using cutting-edge methods underscore the importance of innovative approaches to addressing auditory conditions. For the full story, visit Rolling Stone.
