🎤 Speaker: PhD Candidate, Corena Loeb

Join us for an enlightening evening with Corena Loeb as she explores the innovative field of gene therapy and its potential to treat hearing loss, the most prevalent sensory disorder worldwide. Influenced by factors like age, genetics, and an increasingly noisy environment, it is projected that by 2050, over 2.5 billion people will experience some level of hearing loss.

In this captivating lecture, Corena will discuss the evolution of gene therapy over the past fifty years and explain why the inner ear presents such a promising target for these groundbreaking treatments. This discourse will underscore the promise gene therapy holds for addressing genetic deafness and improving the quality of life for millions.
