Mark Rutherford, PhD

Associate Professor, Otolaryngology

We use anatomical and physiological techniques to study synaptic transmission in the cochlea and brain stem in the context of auditory sensory processing and noise-induced hearing loss. Projects include development of therapies to prevent excitotoxicity by antagonizing calcium-permeable AMPA-type glutamate receptors.
