Research Themes: Deafness Genetics and Functional Genomics

Hearing loss is both clinically and genetically heterogenous and more than 100 loci are known for dominant and recessive hearing loss. The aim of this programme is to identify genetic defects that underlie hereditary hearing loss and to unravel the molecular pathogenesis. The programme is carried out in close collaboration with the department of Otorhinolaryngology.

Summaries of current projects of this programme are outlined below. Click on the project of interest to view details regarding the chosen project.
