As one of the only laboratories of its kind, the Otopathology Laboratory at Massachusetts Eye and Ear/Harvard Medical School is dedicated to advancing methodologies for processing and study of human temporal bones. In doing so, the laboratory also helps facilitate the sharing of tissues and technologies among institutions and promotes the recruitment and training of new investigators in the field of human otopathology.
Our staff, which includes specially-trained researchers and post-doctoral research fellows, work to understand the pathology of the inner ear to find new treatments and cures for problems associated with hearing and balance.
