معرفی
Erin Jimenez is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Biology at Johns Hopkins University's Krieger School of Arts & Sciences. Her research focuses on gene regulatory networks involved in vertebrate inner ear regeneration, particularly in zebrafish models. She holds a PhD from Johns Hopkins University (Biology) and completed postdoctoral training at the NIH's National Human Genome Research Institute.
Her research interests span developmental biology, genetics, and cellular stress responses, with a focus on understanding how gene networks drive regeneration processes. Key themes include sensory hair cell regeneration, steroid signaling in sex-specific development, and genetic tools for studying regeneration mechanisms. She has developed innovative CRISPR-based methods and contributes to undergraduate research education programs.
Publications span topics from zebrafish regeneration models to Drosophila sexual dimorphism and mitochondrial apoptosis pathways. Her work bridges basic science with potential clinical applications in regenerative medicine. No scientific awards are explicitly listed in available records.
Lab activities focus on interdisciplinary approaches combining genetic screens, molecular biology, and model organism studies. She leads a research team investigating regeneration mechanisms across multiple biological systems, supported by Johns Hopkins University resources.
