Research Summary
My lab is interested in the factors that contribute to the normal development of the sensory structures of the inner ear. In addition we are interested in how we can stimulate regeneration after damage to hair cells. We have shown over the last decade that both the FGF and the Notch pathways are important in the development of the sensory structures. We used an in vivo ectopic expression of activated Notch to show that this alone is capable of patterning ectopic sensory structures. We have shown that inhibition of Notch leads to formation of additional hair in crista.
