Lab description
My main goal is to understand deafness, using genetics as a tool to understand the underlying molecular pathways, and my current focus is on progressive (age-related) hearing loss. My group works with both mouse and human data, using the mouse for understanding the different pathophysiological mechanisms involved in hearing loss and human data to establish the most common types of deafness in the population.
