Turner Scientific News
What is Turner Scientific?
We are a company with a dual, yet related, focus.
Our preclinical research services division is dedicated to advancing treatments of hearing loss and other ear disorders, and reducing the potential for damage posed by pharmaceuticals and chemicals to the ears. We are respected by sponsors on four continents for a rigorous scientific approach to studying efficacy of otic treatments, and screening for ototoxicity of any pharmaceutical compound.
With a focus on better science and improved animal welfare, we use our experience in auditory neuroscience to help animal facilities monitor and mitigate environmental concerns. Building on this expertise, Turner Scientific provides personalized services to monitor temperature, humidity, light, noise, and vibration in the lab animal space, which pose a risk to the validity of research studies, as well as an animal welfare concern.
Whether providing you with a place to go for your contract hearing research study or assisting you in understanding environmental confounds in your own animal research, Turner Scientific strives to provide the most up-to-date services and solutions for your needs.

Turner Scientific announces the addition of Alec Salt, PhD, and Jared Hartsock to our research team.
We are proud to welcome Dr. Salt and Mr. Hartsock to our lab as full time researchers. Dr. Salt recently left Washington University where he devoted his career to the study of inner ear fluids and cochlear drug delivery. Mr. Hartsock has been a Research Assistant to Dr. Salt for several years, and has become an expert in complicated surgical drug delivery techniques to the inner ear. Both are internationally recognized scientists who will add tremendous value to our study sponsors.
