🧠Lecture: "Gene Therapy for Hearing Loss"
🎤 Speaker: PhD Candidate, Corena Loeb
Hearing loss is the most common sensory disorder in the world, shaped by age, genetics, and an increasingly noisy environment. By 2050, over 2.5 billion people are expected to experience some degree of hearing loss.
Join us for an engaging evening as Corena Loeb, a PhD Candidate in the Corey Lab at Harvard University, explores how gene therapy could transform treatment for genetic deafness. Together, we’ll trace the evolution of gene therapy over the past five decades and discover why the inner ear is such a uniquely promising target for these cutting-edge approaches.
Coming from a family with genetic deafness, Corena has long been fascinated by sensory systems. Her research focuses on how hearing works at a fundamental level and how gene therapies might one day restore or preserve this vital sense.
Come for a thought-provoking look at the future of hearing, science, and medicine—and what these breakthroughs could mean for millions of people worldwide.
