Ulrich Mueller is a Bloomberg Distinguished Professor in the Solomon H. Snyder Department of Neuroscience at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine. His research focuses on neural circuits, ensembles, and connectomes, specifically within the context of developmental neuroscience and cellular and molecular neurobiology. His lab investigates mechanotransduction in auditory perception, exploring how hair cells in the inner ear transduce sound signals into neural activity. Recent projects have involved generating mouse lines that exhibit auditory impairment, allowing for the identification of genes related to mechanotransduction. Additionally, his work addresses the differentiation of neural stem cells during neocortical development, aiming to understand how excitatory projection neurons are formed and integrated into neocortical circuits. Through these efforts, Mueller's research enhances the understanding of genetic and epigenetic factors influencing neural development and auditory function.
