I’m truly intrigued by organ formation and regeneration, and the zebrafish lateral line represents agreat model to understand these processes. I’m interested in the molecular mechanisms underlying hair cellregeneration and neuromast formation in zebrafish, because unlike human inner ear hair cells, neuromasts regeneratefrom nearby stem cells contained in the primordium (a cluster of cells that migrate to form the lateral line).
