Our labs are dedicated to discovering new molecular factors associated with various hereditary diseases, including deafness, vision impairment, intellectual disability, and oculocutaneous albinism, utilizing next-generation sequencing.

Following the identification of these genes, their pathophysiology is thoroughly investigated using mouse and zebrafish models through knock-out, knock-in, and knock-down techniques. These model-based studies provide valuable insights into the molecular pathways linked to specific genes, contributing to the development of potential therapeutic interventions for hereditary diseases.
