Kolling seminar: Modelling patient-specific Usher syndrome associated with hearing loss

Thursday 14 August

Usher syndrome Type 1B (USH1B), caused by changes in the MYO7A gene, is the leading genetic cause of combined deafness and blindness—affecting 4–17 per 1,000 people. It results in profound hearing loss from birth and progressive vision loss beginning in late childhood to adolescence.

Discover how our team has developed inner ear organoids from a stem cell line derived from a person with USH1B. These organoids are now being used as a powerful model to help develop new treatments for hearing loss.
