Angelika Doetzlhofer is an Associate Professor in the Solomon H. Snyder Department of Neuroscience at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine. Her research focuses on the mechanisms underlying the specification and differentiation of hair cells in the mammalian auditory system. This includes exploring the molecular signals that trigger hair cell regeneration, an ability that is limited in mammals compared to non-mammalian vertebrates, which can regenerate hair cells following loss. Her laboratory employs mouse genetic models and in vitro manipulations to study Notch signaling pathways, Lin28b/Let-7 pathways, and to identify nuclear factors that control the specification of hair cell subtypes. These studies aim to develop strategies for restoring hearing through hair cell regeneration, addressing significant challenges associated with hearing loss and balance disorders.
