Peter Dallos is an Emeritus Professor at Northwestern University's School of Communication, specializing in Audiology, Otolaryngology, and Biomedical Engineering. He holds the John Evans Professorship in Neuroscience. Dallos's extensive research focuses on the functioning of the mammalian ear, particularly the inner and outer hair cells. He is well-known for developing the widely accepted theory that outer hair cells act as local amplifiers, significantly contributing to the ear's sensitivity and frequency selectivity. His research team made a groundbreaking discovery by identifying prestin, a novel motor protein unique to outer hair cells that plays a crucial role in sound amplification. Dallos continues to investigate the properties of prestin and its impact on hearing modifications in mice, contributing to a deeper understanding of auditory processes.
