Piotrowski Lab
We study the development and regeneration of the lateral line sensory system in zebrafish at the cellular, transcriptomic and epigenetic level.
Our research focus
The primary focus of our lab is understanding the development and regeneration of the zebrafish lateral line and the potential applications for promoting mammalian hair cell regeneration to restore hearing loss or deafness. Our areas of research include:
- Stem cell biology
- cell fate acquisition
- innate immune system
- cell migration
