Advancing care through science

The faculty, fellows and residents of the Department of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery perform active research in a large number of disciplines. Researchers work on a wide variety of basic science, outcome and translational topics.  These include hearing related topics; molecular and genetic profiles of oral cavity cancer; outcomes studies in head and neck cancer; rhinology; sleep surgery; computer-aided skull base surgery; and vascular and lymphatic malformations.
