Description:
The Monell Chemical Senses Center is the world’s only nonprofit basic research institute devoted to the study of taste, smell, and chemical irritation. Its research
focuses on fundamental knowledge about the chemical senses as well as their relationship to significant public health and quality-of-life issues across the lifespan, including obesity, diabetes, hypertension, pediatric health, occupational safety, and environmental pollution. Monell’s Chemosensory Clinical Research Center, funded by the National Institutes of Health and administered in collaboration with Thomas Jefferson Hospital, evaluates individuals with chemosensory disorders. The center has an education and training program for postdoctoral scientists, senior scientists, and graduate students. Monell is a resource for information about the chemical senses for medical professionals, the media, and academics. A newsletter is available.
