As a postdoctoral associate, I am involved in two main projects. First, I am working on unraveling the role of the TCA cycle protein ACO2 in progressing hearing loss and neuronal degeneration. The main goal is to test possible therapeutic interventions to mitigate or prevent ACO2-related neurological disorders. Second, I am working on a second project to understand how the inner ear hair cells' architecture is maintained or degraded with age.
