Juleh is studying inner ear progenitor cells that are capable of regenerating lost sensory cells, which are required for hearing and balance functions. By damaging sensory cells in transgenic mice and staining for various markers in these progenitors, Juleh plans on mapping the steps of sensory cell regeneration in mammals. Through this work, she hopes to build the foundation of finding a cure for hearing loss and balance dysfunction in humans.
