Research Interests

Hearing loss can be caused by genetic mutations, environmental factors (noise and ototoxic drugs). My research is focused on diverse treatment strategies for different deafness, including:

• Gene therapy to treat genetic hearing loss by CRISPR/Cas9-mediated genome editing.

• Mitochondria therapeutics to protect from noise-induced hearing loss.

• Gene regulation based hair cell and spiral ganglion regeneration.

• Translational research of inner therapy in non-human primate.
