ABOUT ASHLEY KITA
I\'m an NIH-funded surgeon who recently joined the Division of Ear, Nose, and Throat at Cedars-Sinai Medical Group. I am passionate about providing high quality, evidence-based, patient-centered General Otolaryngology Care and particularly enjoy treating patients with obstructive sleep apnea. In addition to treating patients, I perform translational research to narrow the divide between the bench and the bedside. My patients inspire me to help develop better therapeutics, diagnostics, and devices. I enjoy writing entertaining test-prep questions and brainstorming ways to make all facets of medicine better. I have served on the Medical Devices and Drugs and Sleep Disorders Committees for the American Academy of Otolaryngology Head and Neck Surgery.I have experience developing and validating a point-of-care test for cerebrospinal fluid leaks and a microfluidic device to assist in evaluating hematologic diseases. I am working to create an imaging based sleep study and am developing novel ways of delivering medications locally for prolonged periods within the head and neck using biocompatible polymers. My research has been funded by the National Institute of Health, American Neurotology Society, American Academy of Otolaryngology, American Society of Hematology, UCLA\'s MedTech Challenge, and UCLA\'s Innovation Fund.
