Prof. Dr. med. Tobias Moser is a neuroscientist and otolaryngologist at the Göttingen Campus in Germany. He heads the Institute for Auditory Neuroscience at the University Medical Center Göttingen and leads research groups at the German Primate Center and the Max-Planck-Institute for Multidisciplinary Sciences. His research focus are synaptic coding and processing of auditory information, disease mechanisms of deafness and innovative approaches to the restoration of hearing in the deaf. He has pioneered the optogenetic cochlear implant and gene therapy for synaptic deafness. For his work, he has received several awards including the Leibniz prize, the Jung Prize for Medicine, the Scientific Grand Prize of the Fondation pour l’Audition, Lower Saxony Science Prize and two advanced grants of the European Research Council. He is spokesman of the Multiscale Bioimaging Cluster of Excellence and the Else-Kröner-Fresenius Center for Optogenetic Therapies.
“At CAIMed, we are working with our partners on innovative approaches to data analysis and the development of the optical cochlear implant as a future medical device. AI-based data analysis is revolutionizing our research: it allows us to work with larger amounts of data and promises more robust research results. For the medical device, CAImed promises improved signal processing and optimized stimulation strategies.“
