Research

Within the University of Pittsburgh, especially the PHRC and Department of Ophthalmology, our numerous world-class faculty and trainees are investigating hearing and vision sciences. The HVS program promotes the translation of findings from basic research into applications for new treatments in hearing and vision pathology. This certificate program is open to students pursuing PhDs in the University of Pittsburgh. Students may apply for membership upon admission to a University of Pittsburgh doctoral program.

Students involved in basic and translational research will be mentored by accomplished investigators who are actively involved in basic or translational research, have active NIH funding, have established track records of mentoring, and are committed to the career development of students.
