I work on understanding the morphogenesis of hair bundle on mechanosensory hair cells in the developing mouse cochlea. These hair bundles are vital for hearing.
In my Ph.D., I have worked on getting a detailed account of hair bundle development on mouse cochlear hair cells from embryonic to postnatal stages, to establish major developmental milestones. Hair bundle is comprised of several actin-based stereocilia and a single tubulin based kinocilium. I have assessed several actin regulators with a focus on the function of ezrin and radixin proteins.
In my current role as a post-doctoral associate in Tarchini lab, I intend to mechanistically understand the early development of hair bundle on the mouse cochlear hair cells.
