Peter S Steyger is Professor of Biomedical Sciences and the Director of the Translational Hearing Center at Creighton University’s School of Medicine. He received his Bachelor’s degree in Zoology with honors from the University of Manchester (UK, 1984); and his PhD in Communications and Neuroscience from Keele University (UK, 1991). He joined the faculty at the Oregon Hearing Research Center at Oregon Health & Science University, USA in 1997. He rose through the professorial ranks and moved to his current position in 2019.
