ACCOMMODATION
Sharon Kujawa
Mass Eye & Ear, USA
Sharon G. Kujawa, Ph.D. is an Associate Professor of Otolaryngology, Harvard Medical School. She is the Director of Audiology Research and a Senior Scientist in the Eaton-Peabody Laboratories, Massachusetts Eye and Ear Infirmary, Boston, MA. Work in the Kujawa laboratory seeks to clarify mechanisms and manifestations of common forms of acquired sensorineural hearing loss in humans, particularly those due to aging and exposure to noise and ototoxic drugs. A major focus of current work is in understanding how these etiologies cause loss of cochlear synapses, determining the functional consequences of that loss, and how the degeneration can be manipulated pharmacologically to reveal mechanisms and provide treatments.
Andrew Dimitrijevic
Sunnybrook Research Institute, University of Toronto, Canada
Andrew Dimitrijevic is a scientist at the Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre, Department of Otolarygology, Head and Neck Surgery, Sunnybrook Research Institute. He is also faculty at the University of Toronto, Departments of Otolarygology, Head and Neck Surgery, Institute of Medical Sciences, Program in Neuroscience.
Dr. Dimitrijevic completed his PhD at the University of Toronto under the supervision of Terry Picton. He went on to postdoctoral positions at the University of British Columbia under the supervision of David Stapells and University of California, Irvine under the supervision of Arnie Starr. Dr. Dimitrijevic was faculty at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center before coming to Sunnybrook.
Dr. Dimitrijevic uses high density EEG recordings to understand sensory and cognitive aspects of hearing in both normal hearing and hearing impaired populations.
Susan Shore
University of Michigan, USA
Professor Susan Shore has been working in the field of neuroanatomy and neurophysiology of the auditory system for more than two decades. Over the past decade, Susan’s work has focused on multisensory integration in the cochlear nucleus and its role in tinnitus after noise-induced cochlear damage. Her team's studies of multisensory timing-dependent plasticity have resulted in a novel treatment for tinnitus in guinea pigs and humans, which is currently being evaluated in a second clinical trial.
