Second-year AuD student Breanna Langenek received a 2023 James and Susan Jerger Excellence in Student Research Award at this year's American Academy of Audiology conference in Seattle, WA. Breanna won the award for her poster presentation entitled, "Exploring the pathology of sensorineural hearing loss from methadone treatment in mice."
Breanna was also awarded an NIH T35 AuD research traineeship at the National Center for Rehabilitative Auditory Research, located at the Portland (Oregon) VA Medical Center. These positions are highly competitive and are awarded to AuD students who want targeted experiences to help provide the foundation for a future research career in audiology.
Well done, Breanna!
