Postdoctoral positions are available in the laboratory of Dr. Michael Deans to study the development of the auditory and vestibular epithelia of the inner ear.  This is a new research lab that will be opening at the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine in September of 2008.  The lab specializes in the creation and analysis of transgenic and knockout mice and immediate opportunities to develop novel lines are available.  Our goal is to identify mechanisms underlying the development of specialized cellular architectures within the inner ear.  This will include but is not limited to studies of hair cell Planar Cell Polarity (PCP), stereocilia bundle morphogenesis, and the development of supporting cells in the Organ of Corti.
