Research Area:Ìý Cellular Physiology

Research Description:

My research focuses on sensory cells, called hair cells, in the auditory and vestibular system.Ìý I am interested in understanding how these cells transduce sensory information using mechanically-gated ion channels and in understanding which genes are essential for their survival and regeneration.ÌýÌý Our experimental approaches include electrophysiology and molecular biology using the mouse and zebrafish models.ÌýÌý
