Dr. Rubel is credited with discovering that birds regenerate their hearing in less than 30 days after damage. Dr. Rubel and his more than 60 associates have become a leader in hair cell regeneration research. He will give us an update on the latest, exciting experiments in hearing regeneration with zebrafish and small mammals. Dr. Rubel has enjoyed working with Rotarians for Hearing Regeneration in facility tours at the research center, the Guiness World Record Breaking Woodstick, and over events like this celebration of National Hearing Day.
The anticipated publicity generated by Rotarians for Hearing Regeneration in developing the breakfast fundraiser is expected to create more awareness of the disability of hearing loss including tinnitus. We need supporters for hearing regeneration research.
