A new protocol for selective and efficient sorting of the auditory sensory epithelium

The goal of this project is to develop methods for separating and characterizing the unique cell types of the auditory sensory epithelium using methods commonly used by immunologists. This could also result in the identification of new cell type-specific proteins and possibly new deafness genes.
