This $1,145,674 federal Project Grant award from the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD), part of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), will fund research at Case Western Reserve University to investigate the role of TMC proteins in hair cell mechanotransduction in zebrafish. Specifically, the project aims to determine if TMCs contribute differently to zebrafish hearing, the role of TMCs in hair cell mechanotransduction and lateral line-mediated behavior, and whether TMCs interact in vivo. This research aligns with the NIDCD's mission to find solutions for hearing, balance, and communication disorders. The project will leverage the zebrafish model system to gain insights into the molecular mechanisms of hearing and deafness. As a sub-award, the University of Florida's Division of Sponsored Research will also contribute to the project through collaboration. The award period runs from August 1, 2023 through July 31, 2024.
