Expertise
We study how sensory cells function and regenerate by profiling gene expression in different cell types (RNAseq, single-cell RT-PCR, confocal microscopy) to understand how taste buds function, turnover and differentiate. We also image the functional responses of taste bud cells and sensory neurons under normal and metabolically altered conditions.
