Professor David Ryugo grew up in a small college town in California that centered around agriculture. He enjoyed sports, woodworking, hiking and camping, and was drawn to mathematics and science because of his interest in problem solving. David prizes education, loves his work, and considers preservation of the environment mankind’s greatest challenge. Professor Ryugo uses neurophysiology and neuroanatomy in his studies of the auditory system. He spent 9 years on the faculty at Harvard Medical School and 23 years at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine before retiring as professor emeritus. In 2010, he moved to Sydney to join the Garvan Institute and the University of New South Wales. His research focuses on understanding brain mechanisms that underlie hearing in mammals with an emphasis on structure-function relationships in auditory circuits of the brain. He is especially interested in how deafness and hearing loss alter brain organization, and in exploring strategies for hearing restoration. Professor Ryugo is also a Principal Honorary Fellow at the Bionic Institute in Melbourne and an honorary member of the Ear Nose & Throat Department at St. Vincent’s Hospital. When not working in the lab or worrying about funding, David enjoys reading, rock climbing, traveling with his wife, Karen, and his new hobby of sailing.

• Studies of structure and function in the central auditory system using electrophysiology and light and electron microscopy • Analyses of brain changes following hearing loss • Experiments using sound therapy to reverse brain pathology following hearing loss

Dr. Isabel Varela Nieto graduated (1981) and PhD (1985) in CC Chemistry, Biochemistry Section, at the Universidad Complutense de Madrid. She is an EMBO fellow, she enjoyed two EMBO postdoctoral fellowships at the Universities of Glasgow (UK) and Leuven (Belgium) (1986-1989). She has been a visiting guest scientist at the Faculties of Medicine of the Universities of Uppsala (FEBS Fellow, 1993, Sweden) and San Diego (MEC Sabbatical, 1999-2000, USA). She has been a Professor at the Faculty of Medicine of the UAM (1991- 1992), Senior Scientist CSIC (1992-2002), Scientific Researcher (2002-2004) and since 2005 she is Professor of Research at the CSIC in Madrid. From the early 1990s, she has been interested in the study of hearing neurobiology, initially in the regulation of the embryonic development of the inner ear and in the neurogenesis of the auditory ganglion. Studies that continue in the group, in parallel with those focused on advancing the knowledge of the pathophysiology of human, genetic and environmental deafness, and of presbycusis; area in which she has specialized for more than ten years. The group has characterized the involvement of IGF-1 system and targets in hearing loss, and has demonstrated that the oxido-inflammatory state is key to the development of damage. She has described new aspects of: ear biology (apoptosis, autophagy and senescence), metabolism (methionine cycle), genetics (Igf1, CRaf, Lat2 and Wbp2) and identified new cochlear transcription factors (MEF2). Her group has pioneered the study of the cochlear and vestibular transcriptomes using RNA arrays. These studies are addressed through the development and evaluation of cellular and animal models, the development of micro-surgery and non-invasive biology techniques for the study of auditory function, the application of micromethods to obtain massive data, and the development of biostatistical methods analysis of these data.

The collaboration with clinical groups and companies has complemented her work with translational and transference aspects, focusing on the study of molecules with potential otoprotective activity, from the functional level to the characterization of its effect on the inflammasome-transcriptome. Her research objectives are to increase basic knowledge in the field of hearing neurobiology, contribute to the development of new repair therapies and auditory regeneration, and finally make contributions that in the medium or long term can improve human health.

I am focusing on hair cell development and regeneration research. Wnt/beta-catenin pathway is a well-known signal pathway controls stem cell development and differentiation. As is known that in the inner ear, beta- catenin controls the Lgr5 positive supporting cells proliferation and differentiation to hair cell fate, which I started at my beginning of the research ( PNAS, 110: 13851). Meanwhile, I found the beta- catenin is essentially needed in the later period of hair cell development. Lack of beta-catenin induces malformation of the organ of Corti. Overexpression of beta-catenin induces supporting cells proliferation but stay in precursor cell period, stopping later development ( J. of Neuroscience, 34: 6470). After that, I fortunately found that the necrotic hair cell death triggers wnt-dependent hair cell regeneration in neonatal mice ( J. Neuroscience, 36:09479). These findings suggest that the lack of regenerative ability within the inner ear may be because of lacking wnt pathway signal. Also I did some research in hereditary hearing loss, reported the TBC1D24 gene and GJB2 p.V37I variant in Gjb2 gene research findings (Hum Mut,35(7): 814 and Sci Rep, 6:33279).

Dr Srdjan Vlajkovic completed his medical degree and doctorate in Neuroscience at the University of Belgrade. He joined the Department of Physiology at the University of Auckland in 1994, where he is currently Associate Professor in sensory neuroscience. His principal research interest is in the field of auditory neuroscience, and he studies the cellular and molecular basis of cochlear homeostasis in conditions of stress and injury. His primary focus is on the role of oxidative stress and inflammation in the development of noise-induced and age-related hearing loss. Dr Vlajkovic’s programme of research incorporates a series of projects that directly investigate the protective role of adenosine and ATP on the development of noise-induced cochlear injury and other forms of oxidative stress in the inner ear. He is leading internationally the field of adenosine signalling in the cochlea, and the translational research in this area.
