The Otolaryngology — Head & Neck Surgery department hosts our annual Sensory Neuroscience and Engineering Seminar Series.  We sponsor leading scientists from around the world presenting research topics spanning theories, computational approaches, neuroengineering, translational and clinical research.  Our lineup of speakers has been an excellent and relevant source to our research community as we come together to learn about new discoveries, techniques and ideas.

Our research laboratories are at the forefront of innovative bioscience and technology; we conduct research on issues relevant to human disease, especially curing deafness through regenerative means.

The Stanford Initiative to Cure Hearing Loss (SICHL) is a large-scale research effort conducted at Stanford to find biological cures for hearing loss.

Philanthropic support is vital to the success of our research missions. Contribute to laboratories, individual investigators, or specific areas of research you wish to see advanced.
