Scientific Advisory Committee

Chair of the Scientific Advisory Committee

Dr. Bradley Welling a physican and surgeon in Department of Otolaryngology–Head and Neck Surgery at Harvard Medical School and Mass Eye and Ear/Mass General. He is a neurotologic surgeon in Mass Eye and Ear’s Otology and Neurotology Division, with clinical interests involving caring for patients with diseases of the ear and lateral cranial base. More specifically, he focuses on hearing loss, cochlear implants, auditory brainstem implants, as well as facial paralysis and deafness related to Neurofibromatosis type 2 (NF2)-associated tumors.

Dr. Noonan is from the Boston area and a graduate of Holy Cross. She attended Albany Medical College where she earned her medical degree with honors. She did her residency training in Otolaryngology – Head and Neck Surgery at Dartmouth-Hitchcock. Dr. Noonan did a fellowship in Neurotology and Skull Base Surgery at the House Clinic. Her research includes hearing loss and implantable hearing devices, cholesteatomas, and acoustic neuroma management. She is dedicated to treating patients with hearing loss, ear diseases or infections, and skull base tumors.

Gregory Basura, MD, PhD is a professor surgeon-scientist in the Division of Otology/Neurotology-Skull Base Surgery in the Department of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery at the University of Pittsburgh/UPMC. With a fifty percent research appointment, Dr. Basura divides his time between patient care, basic science/human translational clinical research, resident/medical student teaching, administrative/committee, institutional service, student mentoring and global outreach/humanitarian efforts. He also serves as the Department Lead for Global Outreach.

Professor Horacio Cristini an electrical engineer by training and the head of Argentina’s largest non-profit hearing service network: Mutualidad Argentina de Hipoacúsicos.

Teresa Ching is a renowned hearing researcher from Hong Kong. She was one of the leading researchers at the National Acoustics Laboratory in Australia for many years and made many monumental contributions to the field of audiology.

After retiring from the position, she’s now a professor at McQuarrie University, University of Queensland, Hong Kong Chinese University, among others. I’m especially grateful that she has been serving as one of the CGHH Hearing Care Pathways Working Group members to develop the Guidelines for the Early Hearing Detection and Intervention

Karin Joubert

Professor Karin Joubert is an Associate Professor of Audiology at the University of the Witwatersrand, South Africa. Her research focuses on preventive audiology, public health audiology, and person-centered care. She has received significant research funding for the establishment of the Ndlovu Wits Audiology clinic that offers accessible and comprehensive community-based audiological services in a rural community in the Limpopo province. In addition to her academic work, Professor Joubert is the co-chair of the University of the Witwatersrand’s non-medical ethics committee.

Dr. Sunil Puria is an Amelia Peabody Scientist at Mass Eye and Ear. He studies fundamental and applied cochlear and middle ear mechanics. His efforts to provide an understanding of auditory mechanisms with mathematical models rooted in realistic anatomy and material properties have been fruitful in the past, and will be further developed through his continued research.

His repertoire includes finite element modeling, laser Doppler vibrometry, and the use of modern imaging techniques such as OCT, two-photon, and micro-CT into his research.
