Associate Professor

Pharmacology & Neuroscience

Cancer Research Focus

Our lab works on identifying and testing drugs for protection from chemotherapy-induced hearing loss. We utilize cell-based screens, cochlear explant cultures, and mouse models.

Cancer Research Area(s)
  • Chemotherapy-Induced Toxicities


Curriculum Vitae

Research Focus

- Therapeutic intervention for chemotherapy-induced, noise-induced and age-related hearing
   loss.
- Function and protection of sensory cells in the mouse cochlea.
- Repurposing FDA-approved drugs for hearing loss and acute kidney injury caused by 
  cisplatin chemotherapy.
