Embryonic development involves complex genetic regulation of cell growth, migration, and differentiation. Our research uses diverse experimental approaches to study these processes, focusing on neural crest development in melanoma and motor neuron degeneration in spinal muscular atrophy, aiming to develop therapeutic strategies for both congenital diseases and cancer treatment approaches.

Auditory Perception, Cochlear Implant, Sensory Plasticity

The Schnupp Lab focuses on how sensory processing interprets auditory inputs to the brain and how they are transformed to underpin subjective perceptual qualities of sound such as pitch, timbre and sound source location. They are also studying how the brain learns to adapt to the statistical structure of the sounds in our environment to form efficient neural representations of sound and to support auditory scene analysis. This work has important implications for design and use of auditory prosthetics.
