We are testing a new system for linking grants to scientists.
The funding information displayed below comes from the
NIH Research Portfolio Online Reporting Tools and the
NSF Award Database.
The grant data on this page is limited to grants awarded in the United States and is thus partial. It can nonetheless be used to understand how funding patterns influence mentorship networks and vice-versa, which has deep implications on how research is done.

Modulation of Hair Cell Toxicity in Zebrafish @ University of Washington
DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Loss of sensory hair cells is a major cause of hearing impairment and can arise from both genetic and environmental causes including noise trauma, aging, and drug exposure. The overall objective of this application is to investigate the mechanism of aminoglycoside drug toxicity in hair cells. This research will test the hypothesis that perturbation of proteins which are direct or indirect targets of aminoglycosides will alter the degree of hair cell death using the zebrafish lateral line as a model system. Two approaches are used to define components modulating aminoglycoside toxicity: physiological alteration of hair cells in wildtype zebrafish and isolation of mutants with altered aminoglycoside response. The specific aims of this application are to: 1) test whether disruption of mitochondrial function alters aminoglycoside response; 2) determine the molecular nature of the zebrafish sentinel mutation that exhibits aminoglycoside resistance; and 3) identify new mutations with sensitivity or resistance to aminoglycoside hair cell loss. The long term goal of this research to identify pathways which may underlie other less experimentally tractable forms of hair cell loss, such as age or noise related hair cell loss, and to suggest targets for intervention during drug treatment.
