<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span style="color:black">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. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
