Research project funded by NIH/NIDCD to study the role of N-linked glycosylation in cochlear hair cells and its impact on auditory function and deafness.
Description
The project focuses on the role of N-linked glycosylation in hair cell function and hearing loss. The research involves molecular biology, protein trafficking, and auditory physiology. The project aims to understand mechanisms of protein localization in cochlear hair cells and implications for deafness treatments.
