Overview
The focus of my research is to identify fundamental mechanisms of inner ear development that can be used to understand how the ear works in healthy and damaged or diseased conditions. Studies focus on genes and molecules used by the sensory receptors and neurons that mediate hearing and balance in the mouse.
