The Research Board Committee is one of the Institute’s specialist committees, providing independent scientific leadership and strategic oversight to support Ear Science’s research mission.
Chaired by Professor Marcus Atlas, the Committee comprises volunteer members who generously contribute their expertise and experience across hearing science, biomedical research, molecular medicine, healthcare innovation, technology commercialisation and research translation. Members bring a breadth of expertise across hearing science, biomedical research, molecular medicine, healthcare innovation, technology commercialisation, and research translation, spanning academia, clinical practice, industry, and entrepreneurship.
The Committee plays a vital role in guiding research priorities, strengthening scientific quality, fostering collaboration, and supporting the translation of discoveries into improved patient outcomes. Members contribute extensive experience in leading world-class research programs, developing breakthrough therapies and technologies, establishing research infrastructure, and translating innovation into real-world impact.
Collectively, the Committee ensures Ear Science Institute Australia's research remains at the forefront of scientific excellence, while supporting the Institute's commitment to innovation, collaboration, and improving the lives of people affected by hearing loss and related conditions through evidence-based research and discovery.
