INNER EAR THERAPEUTICS : 

UPDATES AND CHALLENGES FOR APPLICATIONS

Welcome from the President

Dear colleagues,

The "Institut de l’Audition" ("Centre de recherche de l’Institut Pasteur", Paris) and the International Society for Inner Ear Therapeutics (ISIET) are organizing the 3rd international symposium on inner ear therapies entitled “INNER EAR THERAPEUTICS: UPDATES AND CHALLENGES FOR APPLICATIONS” that will take place in Marrakech, Morocco, on April 28 - 30, 2023.

The organizing committee is pleased to invite you to attend this exciting symposium.

Outstanding speakers with expertise in gene therapy, gene editing, stem cell therapy, inner ear organoids, optogenetics, pharmacotherapy, and inner ear implants will present and discuss recent advances and cutting-edge science in these fields, with the ultimate goal to promote and speed up the process of translational research and clinical applications for hearing disorders.

We invite you to submit an abstract of your latest research to the 3rd symposium of the ISIET. Some abstracts will be selected for oral presentations and there will be three poster prizes. Oral presentations are to be held in English.

We look forward to welcoming you in Marrakech!
