Associate Professor Srdjan Vlajkovic holds an academic appointment in the Department of Physiology at the University of Auckland, New Zealand. His research focus is on molecular mechanisms of sensorineural hearing loss and the development of inner ear therapeutics. His research has contributed to the current understanding of the role of adenosine receptors in the repair of cochlear injury and restoration of hearing. His translational research in this area has implications for the treatment of several forms of sensorineural hearing loss, such as those induced by exposure to noise, ototoxic drugs and ageing.
