Description: Katie Kindt, Ph.D., National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD) Senior Investigator will discuss utilizing zebrafish as a model to understand how hair cells develop and function over time. Hair cells are sensory cells of the inner ear that we use for hearing and balance. This seminar is part of a series of talks led by researchers and staff from NIDCD, part of the National Institutes of Health, called Beyond the Lab, Understanding Communication Disorders. The speaker series is an opportunity for everyone inside and outside of NIH—administrative staff, support staff, scientists, and the public—to learn about NIDCD research in communication disorders, conditions that significantly affect about 20 percent of U.S. adults at some point in their lives.
