Jaime García-Añoveros Professor
BS (UC Berkeley), PhD (Columbia University)
Function, dysfunction, development and degeneration of sensory receptor cells and neurons, and in particular those of somatosensory ganglia, inner ear and nose. But I also explore other questions of biomedical relevance or biological interest for which we have the right genetic tools.

Anne Duggan Research Assistant Professor
BA (Harvard University), PhD (Columbia University)
Neural Development, with a focus on zinc-finger factors and their control of neuronal precursor proliferation as well as differentiation of neurons and hair cells. My approach has been mainly molecular and genetic, either forward (nematodes) or reverse (mice).
