We are proud to share that our graduate student, Cole Woulbroun, has been selected as the recipient of the 2026 Bellucci Trainee Award.
Cole received this honor based on his poster presented at the Association for Research in Otolaryngology MidWinter meeting in San Juan, Puerto Rico, titled: “Lhx3 transcription factor in hair cell maturation and its potential for developing therapeutic strategies to induce hair cell regeneration in mammals.”
As part of this award, Cole will travel to Omaha to present his work at the Bellucci Symposium hosted by the Creighton University School of Medicine.
