Research Interests More than 28 million people in the United States are deaf or hard of hearing and about two million are impaired by dizziness or have difficulties with balance. Research in Dr. Wangemann’s laboratory centers on epithelial physiology and vascular biology of the inner ear with the goal to prevent deafness and vestibular disorders in humans and animals.
