Check out our recent paper on the development of an AON therapy (exon13 skipping) for Usher syndrome type 2a. Great work by Erwin van Wijk's lab in collaboration with ProQR Therapeutics. Antisense oligonucleotide-based treatment of retinitis pigmentosa caus... sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Hot from the press: a new deafness gene unravelled. Interestingly, it is the loss of supporting cells that cause damage to the sensory cells. In the same way telephone poles (hair cells) collapse with a landslide (collapsing pillar and Deiters' cells). authors.elsevier.com/c/1d1QY5Sx5gmI…

Great collaboration and wonderful teamwork #hearing&genes!

Are you looking for a postdoc position in the field of human genetics and would love to understand the field of hearing loss?👇🏻Check out this vacancy and apply!👇🏻

See what just got out! An extensive review of the various variants leading to an adult-onset, highly progressive form of hearing loss, called DFNA9. And a big meta-analysis on the audiovestibular phenotype. Hurray! Ronald Pennings, KNO Denegendevan mdpi.com/2218-273X/12/2…

Indeed Cris! Lots of hours of hard work by a great team. An important step for the evaluation of our future inner ear therapy for #DFNA9! Denegendevan Cris Lanting

attending the inner ear therapy session at #ARO2022 together with colleagues Ronald Pennings, KNO #beer

Important session: which model is the best for testing hypotheses concerning hereditary hearing loss, and consequently, how does potential therapy affect hearing? How much is it worth if a model does not match the human phenotype?

Just to let you know that this is an anatomically perfect latte art depiction of the malleus bone in the middle ear. The head, short process and long handle. You’re welcome.

Today it is International Cochlear Implant Day. We as #escpi2023 celebrate the life-changing effects of cochlear implantation and look forward to hosting the ESPCI conference in Rotterdam in 2023!

ESPCI is celebrating World Hearing day today! Each year we celebrate to raise awareness on how to prevent deafness and hearing loss and promote ear and hearing care across the world.
