Raffaella Liuni

Dr. Raffaella Liuni is a Neuroscience Researcher at the Institute of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Paracelsus Medical University in Salzburg, Austria. Her work focuses on molecular mechanisms of hearing disorders, particularly genetic determinants of hearing loss and ototoxicity mitigation strategies.

Research Focus: Primary investigations include oxidative stress pathways in auditory systems, cellular senescence in cochlear tissues, and therapeutic applications of antioxidants against drug-induced hearing damage. Her team employs genetic screening and molecular biology techniques in cohort studies.

Research Output: Recent publications concentrate on genetic basis of vestibular aqueduct abnormalities and cisplatin ototoxicity countermeasures, demonstrating consistent focus on translational neuroscience.

Active Projects:

• Erasmus+ Staff Mobility for Training (2025)
• Novel genetic determinants in hearing loss cohorts (2025)
