Jackie DeVries, MD

I am a research resident in Otolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery at the University of Iowa. My research focus is on molecular mechanisms of hearing loss. Specifically, I am studying changes in gene expression related to hearing loss in the inner ear over time.

I’m currently working at the Molecular Otolaryngology and Renal Research Laboratories and The University of Iowa. For the past 5 years, I've been studying genetic deafness, with particular interest in how mitochondria defect leads to hearing loss. This led me to investigate the impact of OPA1 mutation and TRa defect during the cochlea development and aging and the signaling pathways involved. My current project is ' genetic deafness and gene therapy'.
