My laboratory studies the molecular mechanisms underlying inner ear development. The mammalian inner ear is complex organ and normal function of this organ is intimately dependent on its three-dimensional structure. Our goal is to identify some of the key signaling molecules that instruct its formation during development and provide context for genes that are known to be associated with hearing and balance disorders in humans. In the long run, we hope to come up with strategies and therapeutics that will alleviate these disorders.
