Approach/methods: Development, design and implementation of an electrophysiological assays platform (engineering of micromechanical, electronics and optical elements) combining electrophysiology, pharmacology assays, measurement with laser vibrometer, fluorescent and IR imaging, piezo-electrical stimulation, and real-time analysis. Recordings and functional assays are performed in physiological conditions. Accomplishments: - New animal model: tissue preparation very stable upon time that is critical to perform complex studies combining different approaches (electrophysiology, pharmacology, biomechanic...); validation of ion channels targeted assays; - Implementation of an innovating and efficient platform; - Experiments and assays performed on up to 5-6 months old rats (or mice) (adult animals have fully mature cochlea and let the interesting opportunity to work on presbyacousy and hearing loss); - Recordings of sensory hair cells and single fibers of the auditory nerve. European research network NeuroKCNQpathies: Characterization of putative partners for KCNQ4 (cloned from inner ear sensory cells). Design, validation and implementation of assays on proteins partners (molecular, cellular, and electrophysiological, and immunolabelling investigations). Coordination of collaborators and corresponding scientist for the laboratories network manager (Scientific reports and presentations). Show less
