Isadora Comens is a third-year medical student at the Vagelos College of Physicians and Surgeons. At the Fowler Memorial Laboratory, she assists in development and testing of a novel piezoelectric implantable microphone using sheep as a large animal model. The aim of this research will be development of a totally implantable cochlear implant.
