Neil Segil received his Bachelors degree from Hampshire College in Amherst, Massachusetts and his Doctoral degree in Biochemistry from Columbia University in New York. Following his graduate education, Dr. Segil did a postdoctoral fellowship at Rockefeller University during which he studied the regulation of transcription during the cell cycle.

Dr. Segil joined the House Ear Institute in 1996 as Section Chief for Cell Growth and Differentiation. He also holds the position of Research Associate Professor in the Department of Cell and Neurobiology at the University of Southern California, School of Medicine. Dr. Segil’s HEI research is focused on development aspects of cell cycle regulation as they relate to the inner ear, hearing loss and regeneration.

Dr. Segil has published extensively and received grants and awards from several organizations. Most recently, Dr. Segil and his HEI colleague, Dr. Andy Groves, received a $1,250,000 grant from the National Organization for Hearing Research to study regeneration of the sensory cells of the inner ear.
