I would say happy belated, but every day is caturday 😺

Neva Bergemann presenting a poster on cisplatin ototoxicity at the International Zebrafish Meeting

Permanent hearing loss and tinnitus are frequent side effects of cisplatin chemotherapy 👂
Strategies to prevent hearing loss focus on protecting sensory hair cells from cisplatin induced death. ☠️
But are surviving hair cells really ok?
Spoiler- no, they’re not! 🤕

Good lab news!
Very proud of resident postdoc Prith Roychowdhury, who won a Michael Paparella Resident Research Award for his presentation at the WashU Med ENT 2025 Ogura Lectureship and Resident Research Day 😄🎉
His research uses zebrafish to model excitotoxic injury of auditory nerves 🐟👂

I was also disappointed, but not surprised, that neither of Missouri's senators did either. Especially considering these stats: www.unitedformedicalresearch.org/nih-in-your-...
