Decibel Therapeutics to Present at the 43rd Annual Association for Research in Otolaryngology (ARO) Conference

Decibel Therapeutics, a development-stage biotechnology company creating novel therapeutics for hearing loss and balance disorders, will present new findings from several of their drug discovery and development programs at the 43rd annual meeting of the Association for Research in Otolaryngology, which is being held from January 25-29 in San Jose, CA.

Data to be presented at the conference showcase how Decibel’s drug discovery and translational platform is enabling the development of an array of therapeutic programs, including DB-020 to treat cisplatin-induced ototoxicity and a gene therapy to treat congenital deafness caused by a deficiency in the otoferlin gene. In an invited symposium, Jonathon Whitton, Au.D., Ph.D., director of clinical development, will highlight how Decibel has leveraged its industry-leading, single-cell genomics and bioinformatics capabilities as part of a broader gene therapy platform to optimize therapeutic solutions for hearing loss and balance disorders.

"Over the past year, we have made significant advances in a number of our programs. These developments demonstrate the strength of our unique approach and will continue to enable our efforts in restoration and regenerative medicine approaches to the inner ear," said John Lee, executive vice president, pharmaceutical development.

The Decibel team will have a total of eight posters and presentations during this year’s meeting.
