      Children's Hospital of Philadelphia Receives NIH Grant for Biomarkers of Vision Loss in Children with Optic Pathway Gliomas

      Children's Hospital of Philadelphia Receives a 2020 NIH Grant for $611,652 for Biomarkers of Vision Loss in Children with Optic Pathway Gliomas. The principal investigator is Rogbert Avery. Below is a summary of the proposed work. Low-grade gliomas are the most common brain tumor in children and frequently involve the optic nerve, chiasm, and tract—so they are referred to as optic pathway gliomas (OPGs). OPGs cause vision loss, typically between 1 and 8 years of age, resulting in lifelong disability as well as reduced academic and vocational achievement. The long term goal of this research proposal is ...

      Massachusetts Eye and Ear Infirmary Receives a 2020 NIH Grant for $544,982 for Human Cochlear Structure & Function. The principal investigator is Hideko Nakajima . Below is a summary of the proposed work. Although the inner workings of the cochlea are responsible for the most fundamental aspects of hearing, including hearing sensitivity and frequency tuning, our direct knowledge of human cochlear mechanics is limited. This lack of information has forced researchers to rely on animal experiments to make inferences about cochlear behavior in humans, under the assumption that the motions of the cochlear partition (CP), including the basilar membrane (BM) and ...

      Columbia University Receives a 2020 NIH Grant for $428,832 for Auditory Mechanics and Cochlear Amplification. The principal investigator is Elizabeth Olson. Below is a summary of the proposed work. Sound input to the inner ear (cochlea) causes a frequency-segregated wave-pattern of sensory tissue motion that conveys sound information to the auditory neurons, leading to hearing. A currently untreatable aspect of hearing impairment is the deterioration of the cochlea's ability to sharply segregate sound by frequency. The cochlea's healthy frequency tuning is largely provided by the cochlear amplifier, an outer-hair-cell-driven, place-frequency-localized electromechanical engine that is both powerful and ...

      Postdoctoral researcher on OCT imaging of atherosclerosis

      Published Deadline Location 26 Feb 24 Mar Rotterdam JOB DESCRIPTION Atherosclerosis is an inflammatory and lipid-driven disease of the artery walls. In the coronary circulation, it is the main cause of ischemic heart disease and kills approximately 10 million people per year through myocardial infarctions and subsequent heart failure. Treatment of coronary artery disease by stent implantation can be guided by intravascular imaging with catheter-based optical coherence tomography (IV-OCT). In this project we will realize an OCT system that can perform spectroscopic imaging for identification of atherosclerotic lesion composition. Lipid-rich plaques are associated with worse long-term outcomes for patients. Knowledge ...
