معرفی
Reis is a full-time faculty member at the University of Tübingen in the Faculty of Humanities, Department of German Linguistics, holding the academic rank of Professor (appointed as Honorary Professor at Humboldt University Berlin in 2010). Their research spans German linguistics with a focus on syntax, word formation, pragmatics, and linguistic data theory.
Recent publications highlight groundbreaking work in gene therapy for hearing impairment, particularly targeting the OTOF gene. Key projects include AAV vector delivery systems for auditory inner hair cell regeneration, proteomic analysis of glutamatergic organelles, and non-canonical G protein signaling in hearing mechanisms. Collaborative studies on DFNB9 mutations and synaptic vesicle replenishment underscore translational impact.
Scientific awards include the Swedish Research Award for German Scholars (1996). Current research integrates molecular genetics with auditory neuroscience, addressing hereditary deafness, synaptic dysfunction, and innovative therapeutic strategies. Their dual expertise in linguistics and genetic medicine reflects interdisciplinary leadership in advancing both theoretical and clinical understanding of hearing disorders.
