  Research Interest

  Hearing loss can begin at any age and tends to progress. Ultimately, this may lead to deafness. Our research team seeks to understand the mechanisms of progressive hearing loss, to develop better techniques of diagnosing the cause of hearing loss in individual patients, and to optimize outcomes after cochlear implantation. We perform translational research using animal models of hearing loss and clinical research in both adult and pediatric patients to accomplish our goals.

  Research Interest

  While my primary role is to direct the MS in Human Genetics and Genetic Counseling program, my research focuses on the intersection between genetics and ethics, particularly around the translation of new genetic technologies (such as genome sequencing or non-invasive prenatal diagnosis) into clinical practice. I am especially interested in patient decision making, informed consent, and the interface between genetics and disability.

  Research Interest

  Hedgehog signaling has been implicated in the induction or maintenance of up to 25% of human tumors and a variety of birth defects. Our lab studies Sonic hedgehog (Shh) signaling in normal hair follicle development and in the pathogenesis of the most common human tumor, basal cell carcinoma (BCCs) of the skin. We are interested in how the local stromal environment regulates hedgehog signaling and hair follicle or tumor growth and invasion and developing novel targets for therapy.
