The National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD) of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) has announced a new research funding opportunity to use proteomics to study inner ear development and diseases. This approach will develop a catalog of protein content in the inner ear and essentially offer researchers another window into understanding both normal tissue development as well as what happens in disorders like NF2. The ultimate goal of course is to use this information to understand how disorders like NF2 that affect the inner ear can be treated.
