Research
Focus
- We study mechanisms of genetic deafness caused by connexin and pendrin mutations, which are the most commonly-found mutations responsible for >50% of the human congenital deafness cases in newborns. Focus is to understand how membrane channels/receptors contribute to the normal cochlear physiology and homeostasis and to conduct related translational researches.
