If you are interested in putting your skills to work for a cutting edge biotechnology start-up with an exciting new technology, we would like to talk to you. Our innovative and multidisciplinary approach to auditory drug development will improve the lives of patients in the coming years. All the above duties and responsibilities are essential job functions for which reasonable accommodation will be made.
We are born with a relatively small number of auditory hair cells (about 15,000 per cochlea) and these have to last a lifetime. The very low number of auditory hair cells present in the cochlea is one of the major reasons hearing loss is so common. Once the cells in a particular area of the cochlea are lost, hearing at that frequency is also lost.
SPI is a pioneer in neurotologic drug development aimed at treating sensorineural diseases of the inner ear. Our expertise in molecular biology, immunohistochemistry and electrophysiology have lead to the development of preclinical models of hearing loss and tinnitus that are translating into novel and successful clinical trials.
