Marcos M. Sotomayor

Marcos M. Sotomayor studies the molecular structures and mechanisms behind hearing, focusing on proteins like cadherin-23 that are essential for the inner ear's sensory cells to detect sound. His lab also investigates related ion channels and cell-adhesion proteins using structural biology and computational simulations to understand how these molecules move and function at the atomic level. This work aims to explain how hearing works at a molecular scale and what goes wrong in certain forms of hearing loss.

Publication output was minimal or absent from 2017-2019, then became more active and variable from 2020 onward, with the most recent years showing a steady output of a few papers per year.
