Laboratory of
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.
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.
