Research Description
Our lab focuses on understanding how olfactory and taste systems detect and encode chemosensory stimuli, and how the function of these systems vary under different physiological and pathophysiological conditions. Our studies, predominantly funded by the NIH, are conducted with human subjects and in model systems, and employ neurobiological, psychophysical, anatomical and molecular biological approaches.
