Most Recent Research from Our Lab on Vestibular Diagnosis: ‘Eye’ on Health: AI Detects Dizziness and Balance Disorders Remotely

Artificial intelligence is playing an increasingly vital role in modern medicine, particularly in interpreting medical images to help clinicians assess disease severity, guide treatment decisions and monitor disease progression. Despite these advancements, most current AI models are based on static datasets, limiting their adaptability and real-time diagnostic potential.

Our lab has several fellow and student members. Here is a list of the current lab associates:

Claudia Alvarez

Claudia Alvarez I obtained my Bachelor of Science degree in Behavioral Neuroscience and Psychology at Randolph-Macon College in Ashland, Virginia. Following my course work I found employment at a traumatic brain injury clinic, Radius TBI, in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. During my time at this clinic, I became well versed in clinical diagnostic screenings including videonystagmography (VNG), electroencephalograms (EEG), vestibular and cognitive testing. Here I served as both a medical technician and medical assistant and eventually became a research coordinator. My research here involved studying oculomotor function in patients with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) with intentions to use VNG testing as a diagnostic tool for cognitive impairment.
I am now pursuing my PhD in Neuroscience with interests in the vestibular system and its correlations to cognitive function in Parkinson’s disease patients under the supervision of Professor Ali Danesh as my dissertation committee chair. I also serve as a fellow in the Advancing STEM Community Engagement through Neuroscience Discovery (ASCEND) outreach program where I spread neuroscience education to middle school aged children as well as adults through community events.

Carmen Moleon

Carmen Moleon Dr. Moleon (Carmen) is our Research Fellow. Her bio is narrated by her here: I’m an Otolaryngology clinician (ENT specialist) since 2017. I have a PhD in Biomedicine from the university of Granada (2022) where I studied the genomic foundations of early-onset sporadic MD. I hold master’s degrees in Tissue Engineering (2018) and Molecular Biology (2024). Clinically, I practice as an ENT specialist at University Hospital San Cecilio (Granada, Spain). Since January 2025, I have held a combined clinical–research position and I also serve as a lecturer in the University of Granada’s Department of Surgery, where I have delivered 250+ hours of teaching. My investigations are focused on MD patients and tinnitus. I collaborate closely with Prof. José A. López-Escámez on genetics and deep phenotyping in Ménière’s disease (e.g., CLIMON, Gen4Phen, ClimonMD), with peer-reviewed outputs spanning immune signatures, predictive hearing-loss models, and rare-variant studies; I’ve also contributed to reference works (e.g., Rose & Mackay Textbook of Autoimmune Diseases) and ENT manuals. Building on this, I’m developing a Granada–FAU line on CBT/iCBT for tinnitus (with Prof. Ali A. Danesh), integrating clinical and cognitive interventions to explain heterogeneity in treatment response; in parallel, I contribute to protocolized care in ENT (e.g., tinnitus interventions, Ménière’s trials such as DUPIMEN, and standardized pathways for epistaxis in HHT).
