Genomics of Deafness
Faculty of Medicine, Tel Aviv University
Our Research
Our laboratory focuses on the genomics of deafness, with research on gene discovery, expression, regulation and therapy for hearing loss.
Our paper "Spectrum of genes for inherited hearing loss in the Israeli Jewish population, including the novel human deafness gene ATOH1" is accepted to Clinical Genetics!

Nada Danial-Farran’s paper on COCH is accepted in EJHG!
A fascinating journey
We use state-of-the-art imaging tools, including advanced confocal and electron microscopy, to study the pathophysiology of hearing impairment as a result of genetic variants.
