Two publications today!
@thegiano and Brenna’s work on Hopf bifurcations in hair cells:

And Piotr’s finding that there is strong myosin 7a staining in the medial olivocochlear efferent boutons contacting the outer hair cells:

Excited to have two new lab members! Dr Petr Vikhorev will be joining us to work on hair cells and John Goodwin will be starting his PhD in complex pathologies associated with traumatic brain injury!

We developed a method to move individual hair bundles with photonic force! Now published in eLife.
Great work from Sanjee and Francesco in collaboration with Jim Hudspeth @RockefellerUniv

All good things must come to an end... Goodbye to Dr Sanjee Abeytunge and @thegiano. We wish you the best of luck @QinetiQUS and with Jim Hudspeth @RockefellerUniv respectively!

In other great news, congrats to Dr Sanjeewa Abeytunge for successfully defending his PhD thesis: Development of methods to mechanically stimulate hair cells. His work has been invaluable in studying mechanotransduction in hair cells!
Another new member! We welcome Dr Nikolai Kiskin who is supported by @NASEM_NRC_RAP .
Nikolai will be working on the influence of traumatic brain injury on neurophysiological parameters in rat auditory cortex.
It was an appropriate occasion to mourn the departing of colleagues, students, and friends for an unknown period of time. Looking forward to coming back reinvigorated, reenergised, and refocused on exciting collaborations with @HigginsBioeng,@KozlovLab, and new exciting ideas 2/3
Check out Francesco’s work on the development of cooperative channels in hair cells and how they explain the maturation of mechanotransduction at B490, 2220-Pos #bps20#bps2020#networkingfornerds
Meet our latest addition to the lab: Dr Brenna Hogan! She will be working on modelling mechanotransduction in the auditory system.
