The LCSD seeks an integrated molecular understanding of the architecture, dynamics, function, and renewal of specialized cellular structures underlying the mechanosensory function of auditory and vestibular sensory hair cells. Current projects at the LCSD involve the use of a combination of cell biology approaches with super-resolution fluorescence microscopy and cryo-electron microscopy to examine the molecular architecture of the actin-based sensory stereocilia and their mechanotransduction molecular complex.

The NIDCD intramural program is comprised of a highly interactive and dynamic group of scientists at the forefront of research on communication disorders. The LCSD is located in the newly constructed, multi-disciplinary Porter Neuroscience Research Center on the main NIH campus in Bethesda, Maryland.

The LCSD Staff Scientist serves as a laboratory leader who contributes to mentoring of postdoctoral fellows and other laboratory staff and trainees.
