Research

Ex-vivo round window membrane chamber-RWM
The ex-vivo and in-vivo models of drug delivery

Developing ex-vivo and in-vivo models of drug delivery in large animals such as pigs similar to humans

CD9 gold conjugated RWM exosome
The nanovesicles as delivery vehicles

Developing extracellular vesicles as efficacious and safe carriers to deliver therapy-related substances to the inner ear.

Cilia, epithelial layer of the round window membrane-RWM
The novel sensory receptors for drug delivery and immune response

Identifying novel sensory receptors and channels of round window membrane that sense chemicals, investigating how receptors and channels regulate drug passage to the inner ear, and harnessing receptors and channels to improve inner ear drug delivery.
