Wei-Hsiang Weng

Wei-Hsiang Weng uses computer-based (in silico) modeling to study how proteins in the inner ear detect sound and motion, focusing on ion channels like TMC1/2 and calcium-binding proteins such as CIB2 that are involved in converting mechanical vibrations into nerve signals. Related work examines how metal ions like lithium and calcium interact with proteins in the brain and inner ear, with implications for hearing disorders and neuropharmacology.

Publication output was low and sporadic from 2017-2021, then increased notably from 2022 onward, peaking in 2023, suggesting a growing and more active research output in recent years.
