Christoph Schreiner, M.D., Ph.D.

Professor, University of California, San Francisco

Dr. Christoph Schreiner is Professor and Vice-Chairman in the Department of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF). He holds joint appointments in the Departments of Physiology and Bioengineering &Therapeutic Sciences. He is a member of the Neuroscience Graduate Program at UCSF and Head Graduate Advisor in the joint UC Berkeley/UCSF Bioengineering graduate program. Over the past 25 years, he has been funded by the NIH to conduct studies of the functional organization and plasticity of the central auditory system in various mammalian models, including humans.
