Overview

Paul Albert Fuchs is affiliated with Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine in the United States. Their research primarily focuses on neuroscience and the biochemistry, genetics, and molecular biology underlying auditory systems.

Their work concentrates on sensory systems with a strong emphasis on hearing, cochlea function, tinnitus, and genetics. They contribute significantly to subfields such as molecular biology, cognitive neuroscience, speech and hearing, and nutrition and dietetics. The main topics in their research include:

  • Hearing, Cochlea, Tinnitus, Genetics
  • Hearing Loss and Rehabilitation
  • Nicotinic Acetylcholine Receptors Study
  • Noise Effects and Management
  • Biochemical Analysis and Sensing Techniques
  • Ion channel regulation and function
  • Vestibular and auditory disorders

Fuchs has published extensively in multiple journals, with frequent contributions to Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, Molecular Therapy - Methods & Clinical Development, bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory), Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, and the Journal of the Association for Research in Otolaryngology. Notable recent papers include:

  • Preventing presbycusis in mice with enhanced medial olivocochlear feedback (2020, Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences)
  • Acoustic Trauma Increases Ribbon Number and Size in Outer Hair Cells of the Mouse Cochlea (2020, Journal of the Association for Research in Otolaryngology)
  • Prior Acoustic Trauma Alters Type II Afferent Activity in the Mouse Cochlea (2021, eNeuro)
  • Cy3-RgIA-5727 Labels and Inhibits α9-Containing nAChRs of Cochlear Hair Cells (2021, Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience)
  • Characterization of HA-tagged α9 and α10 nAChRs in the mouse cochlea (2020, Scientific Reports)

Their frequent collaborators include Megan Beers Wood, Ana Belén Elgoyhen, Luis E. Boero, Valeria C. Castagna, and María Eugenia Gómez-Casati, with multiple joint publications.
