Craig A. Buchman, MD, FACS is a Professor of Otolaryngology-Head & Neck Surgery at the University of Utah and is a practicing neurotologist for more than 25 years. He has an international reputation for his contributions in the field of cochlear implantation. Dr. Buchman and his colleagues described the use of electrocochleography in cochlear implantation (circa 2006) and has an active, NIH-funded research program that uses this technology for Cochlear Implant Performance Prediction. He has trained more than 200 residents and neurotology fellows in the field. He served as the Lindburg Professor and Chair of the Department of Otolaryngology-Head & Neck Surgery at Washington University in St. Louis from 2015-2025.

Ironing Out the Ferrostatic Role of Vasculature Associated Macrophages
Iron is an essential micronutrient required by nearly all living organisms, and maintaining its homeostasis represents a fundamental biological challenge across multiple levels, from individual cells to entire tissues and the whole organism. We propose that local iron regulation within adipose tissue is centrally coordinated by vasculature-associated
macrophages (VAMs), a specialized population of resident tissue macrophages closely associated with the vasculature and known to perform key homeostatic functions. While VAMs and other resident tissue macrophages have been historically linked to host defense/innate immunity, there is a major gap in our understanding of their diverse functions beyond immunity, and how their dysfunction drives the progression of chronic inflammatory diseases. Gene expression profiling reveals that VAMs express a comprehensive suite of genes involved in iron import, export, processing, and storage. Our data fur…
