Funded Activity Summary

This project aims to develop safe and effective techniques for long-term delivery of drugs to the ear by genetically modifying cells so they release the theraputic agents over extended periods of time, and then to use encapsulation techniques to safely deliver these cells to the inner ear in combination with a cochlear implant.
