Tobias has done groundbreaking work in identifying the molecular mechanisms of transmitter release at the inner hair cell synapse, the first sensory synapse of the auditory system. Key proteins of this synapse are involved in hereditary hearing loss in humans, and Tobias' recent interests span towards optogenetic restoration of hearing, and the possibility of gene therapy in the inner ear.
