We are particularly interested in how growth factors such as fibroblast growth factors and <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Wnt_signaling_pathway\">Wnt signaling pathways<\/a> regulate cochlear and nephron development.<\/p>\n<p><b>My research will make a difference because<\/b> repair of many diseases requires regeneration of damaged tissue. Regeneration often recapitulates developmental processes. A thorough understanding of mechanisms which regulate organ development is, therefore, necessary to facilitate therapeutic strategy of organ repair.
