Hearing loss is incurable. Our long-term goal is to develop biological treatments to restore sound sensation in patients

Our lab aims to discover—in detail—the molecular mechanism by which non-mammalian species naturally regenerate lost sensory hair cells in their inner ears. In parallel, we are developing a platform in adult mice that allows us to evaluate systematically and ultimately screen for drugs and manipulations that lead to proliferative hair cell regeneration in the deaf cochlea.

We welcome everyone interested in science and sharing our commitment to compassion and support for one another. Our goal is for our research group to be better as a whole than the sum of its individual members.
