Background

About Trinity Pirrone

Trinity Pirrone is an American pursuing a Neuroscience PhD within the Pasteur - Paris University (PPU) International Doctoral Program in Paris, France. She is a part of the neural coding and dynamics team with Jeremie Barral & Brice Bathellier at Institut de l’Audition in Paris. Her project will further knowledge of how the peripheral auditory system transforms sound into action potentials that relay auditory information to the brain. This research holds implications for a variety of hearing pathologies, making it important for the development of future hearing loss therapeutics and treatments. PPU is a highly selective program inviting young scientists from all over the world to pursue doctoral research at the Pasteur Institute. She is a member of the Karikó laureate class, named for Nobel Prize winner Katalin Karikó. This program stresses the importance of international collaboration and community in the life sciences. She aims to pursue a long-term career in auditory neuroscience research, furthering our understandings about how cellular and physiological mechanisms of the auditory periphery and brain support the coding of complex sound and change in pathology models. Outside the laboratory, she is also passionate about neuroscience education, scientific and health policy, and global perspectives on brain health.
