Biography

Anders Fridberger is a Professor at Linköping University, with a focus on inner ear sensory cells and their role in hearing. He is fascinated by the ability of these cells to respond to sound-evoked motions smaller than a billionth of a meter. His research aims to understand the mechanisms underlying hearing loss and to identify new ways to treat and prevent it. Fridberger began his academic journey as a medical student involved in a research project at the Karolinska Institutet. He was captivated by the intricate structures within the organ of Corti, particularly the Hensen cells. Throughout his career, he has held multiple positions in academia, including Deputy Dean of the Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences at Linköping University.
