The 11th Molecular Biology of Hearing and Deafness Conference will be held from May 16th to 19th, 2018, at the Max Planck Institute of Biophysical Chemistry in Göttingen. This international conference serves the exchange of researchers about the latest developments in the field. Here, besides the identification of so-far unknown deafness genes, new methods of exome/genome analysis will be presented. Advances in the identification of gene-function relationships will be discussed as well as the role of specific genes in the molecular physiology of hearing and in age-dependent hearing loss. Speakers will also cover potential strategies for gene therapy and prepare the transfer of the results from basic research into clinical application.
