  1. Eri Hashino • Ph.D. in Neurobiology, Nagoya Univ., Japan • Hair Cell Regeneration • Postdoctoral Fellowships at SUNY at Buffalo • Hair Cell Regeneration • Neurotrophic Factors in Neural Development • Associate Professor, Department of Otolaryngology, IUSM • Stem Cell Biology • Inner Ear Development

  2. Current Research Areas • Stem cell biology • Adult stem cells • Embryonic stem cells • In vitro characterization • Animal models and transplantation • Inner ear development • Retinoid signaling • Neuronal cell fate determination • Animal Models: • Mouse • Chicken

  3. Methodologies • Molecular biology • RT-PCR • In situ hybridization • RNAi • Retroviral vector-mediated gene transfer • Cell Biology • Cell and tissue culture • Protein assays • Imaging • Confocal microscopy • Time-lapse imaging • Electron microscopy • 3D reconstruction

  4. Recent Results Demonstration of synergistic effects of Shh and RA on adult stem cell differentiation. Identification of a phenotypically defined stem cell population in various adult tissues (brain, bone marrow, muscle & adipose). Demonstration of essential roles for the RA receptors RARa and RARg in inner ear development.

  5. Future Directions • Functional analysis of adult stem cells • Target innervation • ABR/CAP recordings • Patch-clamp recordings • Ca2+ imaging • In vivo imaging • Auditory neuron development • Identification of downstream targets of RA signaling essential for inner ear development • Inducible/conditional gene targeting • In vivo RNAi
