Overview

Allen F. Ryan is affiliated with the University of California, San Diego in the United States. Their research primarily spans the field of medicine, with a significant focus on otorhinolaryngology, sensory systems, immunology, pulmonary and respiratory medicine, and neurology.

Their work extensively covers topics related to ear surgery and otitis media, hearing, cochlea, tinnitus, and genetics. Other research interests include immune response and inflammation, respiratory and cough-related research, vestibular and auditory disorders, antimicrobial peptides and activities, as well as sinusitis and nasal conditions.

Among the frequent coauthors collaborating with Ryan are Arwa Kurabi, Kwang Pak, Anke Leichtle, Regie Lyn P. Santos-Cortez, and Eduardo Chávez.

Ryan has published multiple papers in several notable venues. Frequent publication venues include Laryngo-Rhino-Otologie, UNC Libraries, Frontiers in Genetics, Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, and Scientific Reports.

Selected recent papers include:

  • "Novel Risk Loci in Tinnitus and Causal Inference With Neuropsychiatric Disorders Among Adults of European Ancestry," 2020, JAMA Otolaryngology-Head & Neck Surgery
  • "Noise Exposures Causing Hearing Loss Generate Proteotoxic Stress and Activate the Proteostasis Network," 2020, Cell Reports
  • "Single-Cell Transcriptomes Reveal a Complex Cellular Landscape in the Middle Ear and Differential Capacities for Acute Response to Infection," 2020, Frontiers in Genetics
  • "Immunohistochemical and qPCR Detection of SARS-CoV-2 in the Human Middle Ear Versus the Nasal Cavity: Case Series," 2021, Head and Neck Pathology
  • "Genetic architecture distinguishes tinnitus from hearing loss," 2024, Nature Communications
