New York, NY, United States
I am Tom Ben-Dov, MD, Pediatric Otolaryngology Fellow in the Otolaryngology-Head & Neck Surgery Department at NYU Grossman School of Medicine, affiliated with NYU Langone Health. Graduating cum laude from Semmelweis University in Budapest, Hungary, I pursued my passion for otolaryngology by completing my residency at Meir Medical Center, affiliated with Tel Aviv University.
In addition to my clinical training, I have a strong interest in research. As a laboratory assistant in the Department of Anatomy at Tel Aviv University, I had the opportunity to explore finite element analysis of the ossicular chain, deepening my understanding of its intricate dynamics. My dedication to advancing medical knowledge led me to pursue further studies in the field of genetic deafness. I focused on studying deafness caused by SLC26A4 mutations using CRISPR-Cas9-based animal models. This research allowed me to unravel the complex mechanisms underlying genetic hearing loss, further igniting my passion for scientific exploration.
During my fellowship, I committed myself to a range of research projects. Through mentoring students, our collaborative efforts led to publications and presentations focusing on various topics, including the adverse features of Ciprodex in pediatric airway, midline maxillary diastema, and volumetric measurements of children with craniofacial abnormalities. Notably, we presented the initial phase of our volumetric measurements project at last year's academy meeting in Philadelphia. I am exhilarated to continue this research and share our latest findings at this year's academy meeting in Nashville. These ongoing efforts will undoubtedly enhance our understanding and drive advancements in this critical area.
