Geoffrey A. Manley, Ph.D. (03/01/00 - 02/28/03)

Geoffrey A. Manley has been appointed assistant professor of biology at McGill University in Montreal. He expects to be on leave from April 1971 to January 1972 as a Queen Elizabeth post-doctoral fellow in Perth, Australia, where he will work in the Physiology Department with a group applying the Mossbauer technique to the study of vibration of the inner-ear basilar membrane. Geoffrey's wife just received her B. A. in biology from Douglas College, Rutgers University, by the way, and will be doing graduate work at McGill.

Professor Geoffrey A. Manley is Chairman of Zoology at the Technical University in Munich.He was born in England and studied Natural Sciences with a major in Zoology at Cambridge University.He then took up postgraduate studies in neurobiology at Princeton University USA, where he was awarded the degrees of MA (1969) and PhD (1970).In 1971 Professor Manley was a Queen Elizabeth II Fellow in the Department of Physiology UWA, beginning a long association with the Auditory Laboratory and UWA that continues this year with his Raine Visiting Professorship.He was subsequently Associate Professor in Biology at McGill University, Montreal, Canada until 1978 when he moved to the Technical University of Munich as Alexander von Humboldt Fellow.He was appointed Chairman of Zoology in 1980, when he set up the Department as Foundation Professor

Professor Manley is the foremost representative of the field of comparative auditory science, having published work on amphibians, reptiles, birds and mammals.These include comparative studies of the anatomy and physiology of the middle and inner ears and of the brainstem auditory centres.He has pioneered the use of comparative research to understand the evolution of structure and function in the inner-ears of mammals and their relatives.His studies have also provided a basis for understanding structure-function relationships in all hearing organs and for recognizing features of auditory inner ears that are unique to mammals and humans.

Professor Manley is a Fellow of the Acoustical Society of America and an Associate Editor of the Journal of the Association for Research in Otolaryngology and on the editorial board of Hearing Research and Audiology and Neuro-Otology.He is the author of the Monograph Peripheral Hearing Mechanisms in Reptiles and Birds (1990) and senior editor of the conference volume Advances in Hearing Research (1995), the research report Auditory Worlds: Sensory Analysis and Perception in Animals and Man (2000) and the forthcoming Evolution of the Vertebrate Auditory system.Since 1970, Professor Manley has also been the author of 112 peer-reviewed papers in international scientific journals including Nature, Science and PNAS.

During the tenure of his Raine Fellowship Professor Manley will be working in the Department of Physiology Auditory Laboratory on calcium-dependent motility in hair cells of the inner ear.
