Dr. Emma Kenyon is a Lecturer in Neuroscience at Swansea University Medical School, part of the Faculty of Medicine, Health and Life Sciences. Her research focuses on sensory neuroscience, particularly hearing and balance, using zebrafish as a model system. With 20 years of experience in zebrafish research, she investigates intracellular trafficking mechanisms and their role in sensory hair cell function. In 2019, she received the RNID Pauline Ashley Fellowship to study RabGTPases in aminoglycoside antibiotic transport. She teaches on the MSc Medical Neuroscience program and supervises postgraduate research.
- Expertise: Sensory neuroscience, genetics, zebrafish models
