About

We have 4 projects in the laboratory now: 1) molecular and immunohistochemical characterization of the vestibular calyx afferent, including voltage-gated ion channels, glutamate and potassium co-transporters; 2) a study of the ultrastructural and protein structure of a cytoskeletal striated organelle present in all inner ear hair cells, except cochlear outer hair cells; 3) an investigation of the structure and function of inner ear mitochondria; and 4) genetics of Meniere's Disease.
