    • About

    My research integrates developmental biology, stem cell biology, and computational genomics to study and regenerate the mammalian organ of Corti. As an Assistant Professor at the Kresge Hearing Research Institute (KHRI) and an affiliate of the Center for Computational Medicine and Bioinformatics at the University of Michigan, I lead a multidisciplinary research program that leverages single-cell sequencing and computational modeling to elucidate the mechanisms underlying inner ear development and repair.
