Shawn D. Newlands, M.D., Ph.D., M.B.A.

See information for Patients. Viewing information for Researchers.

Dr Newlands primary research interest is in the physiology of the vestibular system, particularly in recovery from injuries to the inner ear. Anatomic, behavioral, and physiologic methods are used to investigate mechanisms of recovery that may lead to medical intervention.
