  Research Interest

  Sensorineural hearing loss affects more than 30 million people worldwide and the most common underlying pathology is loss of sensory hair cells, the mechanoreceptors of the inner ear. Loss of these specialized cells is permanent in mammals and regeneration is limited/non-existent. Recently stem cell-like cells have been isolated from the mammalian inner ears. Our research group is interested in identifying signals that maintain the stem cell population and the stem cell niche in the mammal..

  Research Interest

  Most types of congenital and acquired hearing loss arise from damage to, or loss of hair cells, the sensory cells of the inner ear. Our recent work has focused on generating inner ear cell types from stem cells and we are interested in signaling pathways that control hair cell and auditory neuron (re-)generation in vitro and in vivo. In a second line of research, we are working on the identification and the molceular characterization of proteins that are important for hair cell function.

  Kari Nadeau, MD, PhD, Allergy, Immunology and Asthma Our research interests in the laboratory focus on the role of human T cells, specifically natural regulatory T cells (Treg, in immunological diseases. We aim to differentiate the mechanisms of action of regulatory T cell suppressive function. We study how pollution, such as diesel exhause, disrupt Treg suppressive function and how chemokines, like lymphotactin, enhance Treg suppressive function. We also study Treg function in tolerance.

  Research Interest

  My research effort centers on understanding auditory function in the developing human neonate. Currently I am investigating auditory function and neurotoxic exposures to bilirubin, the molecule from catabolized red blood cells seen in all neonates. My approach involves bilirubin production estimates derived from breath carbon monoxide concentration, quantifying neurotoxic effects with precise non-invasive auditory neural measures, and the development of a life-sized neonatal hearing simulator.

  The auditory sensory cell, the hair cell, detects mechanical stimulation at the atomic level and conveys information regarding frequency and intensity to the brain with high fidelity. Our interests are in identifying specializations associated with mechanotransduction and synaptic transmission leading to the amazing sensitivities of the auditory system. We are also interested in the developmental process, particularly in how development gives insight into repair and regenerative mechanisms.
