Anthony Wei Peng · Denver, Colorado
Dr. Anthony Wei Peng's lab at the University of Colorado Denver focuses on the intricate processes that enable our ears to hear. By studying how hair cells in the cochlea convert sound vibrations into electrical signals, the lab aims to understand the molecular mechanisms behind hearing and the effects of genetic mutations that could lead to hearing loss. Their research not only sheds light on normal auditory function but also seeks to identify potential targets for improving therapies for hearing impairments.
