Gabriel Corfas
Principal Investigator
Gabriel Corfas obtained an MSc in Biological Sciences from the University of Buenos Aires and a doctorate in Neurobiology from the Weizmann Institute of Science. During his postdoctoral training, first at Washington University in St. Louis, MO and then at Harvard Medical School, he contributed to the identification and cloning of the trophic factor Neuregulin 1 and its mechanism of action. In 1996, he obtained a faculty position at Harvard Medical School and Boston Children’s Hospital (BCH), eventually becoming Professor of Neurology and Otolaryngology, and director of basic research in Otolaryngology at BCH. In 2014, Corfas joined the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor as director of the Kresge Hearing Research Institute and associate chair for research for the Department of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery.
Dr. Corfas has received a number of honors and awards including the Klingenstein-Simons Fellowship in the Neurosciences, the Alfred P. Sloan Research Fellowship, an award from the EJLB Foundation, a Young Investigator and an Independent Investigator Award from NARSAD, as well as being elected secretary and treasurer of the Association for Research in Otolaryngology.
