Robert Kern, MD, Lyra’s chief medical officer and the George A. Sisson Professor and Chair, Department of Otolaryngology, Head and Neck Surgery, Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine, will moderate a discussion with two ENT physicians who are renowned experts in CRS:
- Dr. Amber Luong, MD, PhD, FACS, Professor and Vice Chair for Research in Otorhinolaryngology, Head & Neck Surgery at University of Texas’ McGovern Medical School. Dr. Luong will be a Coordinating Principal Investigator in one of the LYR-210 Phase 3 clinical trials.
