Research project awarded by NIDCD to study cochlear resident tissue macrophages in development and CMV infection response, aiming to develop treatments for CMV-mediated hearing loss.
Description
The project focuses on developing novel strategies to treat Cytomegalovirus (CMV) mediated hearing loss. It investigates the role of fetal-derived tissue macrophages in cochlear development and infection response. The research involves fate-mapping, transcriptomics, microscopy, and hearing tests. The project aims to contribute fundamental knowledge about the auditory system and explore RTMs as therapeutic targets.
