Auditory Neuroscientist Investigating Synaptic and Circuit Mechanisms Underlying Hearing Deficits in Neurological Disorders
Assistant Professor at Pittsburgh Hearing Research Center, University of Pittsburgh
Thrilled to be part of this great collaborative effort!

We developed and validated a novel genetically encoded Green Zinc Sensor that enables, for the first time, two-
photon single-cell imaging of synaptic zinc dynamics in awake mice!
