Position Description: Our group utilizes the zebrafish system to study hair cells, the sensory receptors for hearing and balance. Specifically, we use this in vivo model to understand the functional and developmental processes that are critical for hair-cell function. Overall our scientific questions are broadly relevant to the field of Neurobiology. For our studies we use live imaging to optically measure function and visualize development. We complement this work by using CRISPR technology to apply genetics to our imaging toolbox. Our laboratory is home to Swept-field, Point-scan, Airyscan, and Light-sheet microscopes. In addition, on the NIH campus we have access to numerous additional microscopes and technological cores.
