Biography
Dr. Sanchez earned a PhD in auditory neuroscience from Kent State, a master’s degree in audiology from Michigan State and a bachelor’s degree in communication sciences and disorders from Northern Colorado. He’s clinically trained in audiology from the Cleveland Clinic and completed postdoctoral training in developmental auditory neurobiology at the University of Washington. As director of the Central Auditory Physiology Laboratory at Northwestern, his research investigates developmental mechanisms underlying ion channel and synaptic receptor function. Such biophysical properties may guide requirements for cochlear implant and hearing aid design and potentially provide pharmacological targets to improve disorders of the auditory system.
