Abstract
Dr. Richard R. Fay has made seminal contributions to our understanding of hearing and bioacoustics in fish. I was fortunate to be trained as a Ph.D. student in fish auditory physiology under his guidance. For this presentation, I will first review my early graduate work on auditory processing in goldfish with Dick and express my deepest appreciation and thanks to him for helping me start my postdoctoral training in Dr. Arthur Popper’s lab as well as his positive influence on my academic career. For the second part of the talk, I will switch to my current research focus on genetic hearing loss using zebrafish. For the past decade, the zebrafish (Danio rerio) has emerged as an important vertebrate model for biomedical research because it combines many advantages such as excellent embryology, exceptional in vivo imaging, and powerful genetics in one organism. Collaborating with an otolaryngologist and a clinical geneticist in the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine, my lab has been assessing audito...
