About the Lab

Who WeAre

We study how living systems detect and amplify sound, combining physics, computation, and experiment to understand one of nature's most extraordinary sensors.

A New Lab

Our lab opens at Universidad Autónoma de Madrid in Autumn 2026, led by Francesco Gianoli, with a founding team of senior researchers relocating from A. J. Hudspeth's pioneering group at The Rockefeller University. Funded by an ERC Starting Grant (ActivEAR).

Where We Are
