Our lab studies sensory biology, including mechanosensation, thermosensation, chemosensation, photosensation and nociception. We focus on:
LSI scientists have discovered how millimeter-long roundworms sense sound waves without ears, revealing similarities in sound-sensing mechanisms found in other species, from worms to mammals.
Scientists have identified a new role for a protein complex at the center of a human genetic disorder called Bardet-Biedl syndrome.
A common model species can sense sound waves without ears, providing a new tool for studying auditory sensation.
