The Rudy Clarenburg Lecture Series
The 2010 lecture series featured:
Jochen Schacht, Ph.D.
Professor of Biological Chemistry in Otolaryngology
Director, Kresge Hearing Research Institute, University of Michigan
Dr. Schacht presented a lecture:
September 27, 2010 at 3:30 p.m.
“Hearing and Hearing Loss: from Bench and Bedside”
The seminar was held in the Mara Conference Center – Trotter Hall
Dr. Schacht received his Ph.D. in biochemistry from the University of Heidelberg, Germany, and joined the University of Michigan in 1969 where he is now Professor of Biological Chemistry in Otolaryngology and Director of the Kresge Hearing Research Institute.
The goal of Dr. Schacht’s research is to determine the causes and help prevent acquired hearing loss. Other research efforts include biochemical and biological studies of cell communication and regulatory mechanisms in the inner ear, cell survival and apoptotic pathways in drug-induced hearing loss, noise trauma and age-related hearing impairment, and environmental factors that cause deafness.
Dr. Schacht has served on scientific review and strategic planning committees for the National Institutes of Health and is a member of the editorial boards of several professional journals. He has received numerous national and international honors for his work, including the University of Michigan’s Distinguished Faculty Achievement Award, and was elected Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science.
We are grateful that Dr. Schacht will present The Dr. Rudolf Clarenburg Lectureship in the College of Veterinary Medicine at Kansas State University. We hope that you will attend his lecture.
