Research Summary

(inferred from publications by AI)

The researcher's work focuses on the interplay between hearing loss, particularly tinnitus in chronic kidney disease patients, with genetic and neural factors influencing cognitive decline. Their research investigates how genetic variations modulate neural mechanisms affecting hearing and how these processes contribute to brain function and cognitive development. By combining empirical findings with computational modeling, they aim to elucidate the biological underpinnings of hearing impairment and its broader implications for health and disease progression.
