With a doctorate in medical neuroscience and postdoctoral fellowship training from the Indiana University School of Medicine, Dr. Karl Koehler's research focuses on using the organoid culture system as a platform to develop regenerative therapies for the inner ear and various craniofacial tissues. The overall aim of this work is to create new tools to study human sensory organ development, function, and regeneration.

Research in the Koehler Lab focuses on using human organoid systems as a platform to model congenital diseases and develop novel therapies for the inner ear and various craniofacial tissues, including the skin and facial bones.
