Ronna Hertzano, M.D., Ph.D., is a surgeon-scientist specializing in ear disease diagnosis, treatment and hearing restoration. Her research lab focuses on preventing hearing loss and developing innovative hearing restoration strategies through multi-omic analyses to identify key regulators in inner ear development and pathways related to age- and noise-induced hearing loss, including sex-based differences. Her team has discovered critical transcription factors in inner ear development, potential therapies for acquired hearing loss, and Dr. Hertzano established the gEAR portal for omics data sharing in hearing research. Dr. Hertzano places a strong emphasis on mentorship and is dedicated to nurturing the next generation of researchers, clinicians, and clinician-scientists. She also holds prominent editorial roles, serving as an associate editor in Otology Neurotology, a section editor in Hearing Research, a member of the editorial board of JARO, and is the president-elect of the Association for Research in Otolaryngology (ARO).
Dr. Hertzano earned her M.D. and Ph.D. degrees from Tel Aviv University, Israel, and completed her residency training in Otolaryngology Head and Neck Surgery and Otology and Neurotology at the University of Maryland School of Medicine (UMSOM) in Baltimore.
