Teerawat Wiwatpanit. 
Graduate Student (DGP)
BS (Bowdoin College)


*Awarded Center for Genetic Medicine Travel Fellowship.   
*Awarded Driskill Graduate Program in Life Sciences Travel Award.
*Earned the 2019 Driskill Research Award for Alumni


​Tee explored the cellular role of mucolipin channels in the specialized lysosomes of neonatal enterocytes and aging hair cells.

Jorge Cantú
Adjunct Assistant Professor (after initial Postdoc)
PhD (Northwestern University)


*Awarded T32NS041234 from NIH-NINDS.

Jorge explored the genetics, development and cell biology of somatosensory and motor neurons and of cochlear hair cells,  as well as specialized lysosomes.

Sarah M. Lorenzen
Graduate Student (NUIN)
BA (University of Southern California)


*​Awarded 5T32AG020418 from NIH-NIA and 1F31DC012483 from NIH-NIDCD.

Sarah investigated the development of primary sensory neurons and outer hair cells of inner ear.

Emma N. Flores
Graduate Student (NUIN)
BS (UC Irvine)

*Awarded 2T32NS041234 from NIH-NINDS and 1F31DC012013 from NIH-NIDCD.

Emma investigated auditory nociception, contributing to the discovery of a novel pathway from ear to brain that signals tissue damaging noise.

Natalie N. Remis
Graduate Student (IGP)
BS (Drake University)

*Awarded 5F31DC010529 from NIH-NIDCD.

Natalie generated mice lacking the Mcoln3  gene in order to elucidate the role of the TRPML3 channel in inner ear and other organs. She contributed to finding a mayor role played by mucolipin-endowed lysosomes in a pathology unique to the neonatal intestine.

Andrew Castiglioni 
Postdoc
PhD (Brown University)
​
*Awarded 2T32NS041234 from NIH-NINDS.

Andrew joined the lab after a PhD with Diane Lipscombe studying calcium channels in nociceptors. While in the lab, he explored mucolipin (TRPML channel) biology in sensory and non-sensory organs. After several years in our lab, Andrew obtained a position at Argone National Labs.
