The Someya Lab, housed in the Departments of Physiology and Aging & Speech, Language, and Hearing Sciences at the University of Florida, investigates how physical inactivity affects mitochondrial function, particularly in sensory hair cells, and how physical activity promotes mitochondrial health to help prevent age-related hearing loss—a common condition in older adults. We are also actively engaged in training the next generation of scientists at the undergraduate, graduate, and postdoctoral levels.
