    Prof Martin Birchall

    Martin Birchall is Professor or Laryngology and ENT Surgeon. He co-led the European Team which successfully performed the World’s first stem-cell based, tissue-engineered organ transplant.

    Professor Martin Birchall…

    Prof Jennifer Bizley

    Prof Jennifer Bizley is both a Sir Henry Dale Research Fellow & Professor of Auditory Neuroscience. Her research aim is to unravel the mechanisms by which neural activity in auditory cortex leads to sound perception and how visual information can alter perception to help us to listen more effectively.
