IN VIVO IMAGING OF THE INNER EAR
The principal goal of this work is to develop in vivo cellular assays of cochlear function that coupled with standard hearing testing will elucidate cellular pathways of both normal and pathological conditions. Micro-endoscopy using gradient refractive index optics (GRIN) offers a new approach to overcome this challenge. GRIN micro-endoscopy is an emerging imaging modality that provides micron-scale optical resolution in tissues inaccessible to standard light microscopy.
