We are excited to announce that Dr. Vijaya Prakash Krishnan Muthaiah, a former postdoc of our lab, has been awarded an R21 grant from the NIOSH/Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). His funded project, titled "Hearing Loss by the Synergistic Effect of Chronic Inhalation Exposure of Manganese Fumes with Occupational Noise Exposure," is a significant achievement in his research career. Congratulations to Dr. Muthaiah on this well-deserved success!
