Welcome to the Jimenez Lab at Johns Hopkins University!
The Jimenez lab focuses on understanding gene regulatory networks involved in hearing regeneration. We employ genetics, genomics, and high-throughput screening. Our primary model organism is the zebrafish. We also explore questions in the mammalian inner ear using the mouse as a model.
The Jimenez lab is recruiting graduate students and postdoctoral research fellows. Please contact Erin if you are interested in joining our lab.
