Research Interests:

More than 28 million people in the United States are deaf or hard of hearing and about two million are impaired by dizziness or have difficulties with balance. Research in Dr. Wangemann’s laboratory centers around fluid regulation and blood flow control in the inner ear. A detailed understanding of the inner ear is a necessary prerequisite to finding cures for auditory and vestibular disorders in humans and animals.

Dr. Wangemann is recognized nationally and internationally for her contributions to the fields of otology, epithelial physiology and microvascular biology. She has published over 50 peer-reviewed papers in journals such as Journal of Membrane Biology, Hearing Research and American Journal of Physiology and contributed numerous invited chapters. Dr. Wangemann is invited to speak before national and international scientific audiences on a regular basis. Since 1988, more than 15 students and postdoctoral fellows have trained with Dr. Wangemann. She has been awarded over 3.3 million dollars in research funding from the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders of the National Institute of Health.
