The goal of the Kim Lab is to characterize the properties of sound coding and processing in the cochlea and along the auditory pathway through in vivo real-time monitoring of sound-evoked multicellular activities. Additionally, we aim to identify the transport mechanisms responsible for ototoxic drug entry into the cochlea via in vivo drug tracking and subsequently develop pathway blockers to prevent drug-induced hearing loss.

The Kumar Lab is working to advance therapeutic strategies for hearing disorders, including difficulty hearing in noisy environments, hyperacusis, tinnitus, and hearing deficits associated with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). By understand how auditory dysfunction arises from alterations in cortical neural circuits, they hope to leverage this knowledge to develop interventions that restore hearing function.
