Overview

Research Focus:
Planar cell polarity (PCP) is characterized with coordinated polarization of cells along the plane of the tissue. It is a driving force for the establishment of body axes during gastrulation. It also plays essential roles in neurulation and coordinating cellular polarity in many tissues/organs that are required for their functions.
The mammalian hearing and balance organs in the inner ear consist of highly stereotyped arrays of sensory hair cells and supporting cells. These sensory organs display distinct forms of PCP, essential for their balance and hearing functions. In addition, the motile cilia in the middle ear also display PCP, likely required for fluid and pathogen clearance. Defects in PCP cause developmental issues and in the functions of individual organs. We use the inner and middle ears as model systems to dissect the mechanisms regulating PCP and to investigate the molecular pathology of human diseases resulted from defects in human PCP genes.
