| Abstract: | (CIT): Dr. Vosshall's lab works on understanding how the brain interprets and responds to olfactory signals in the environment that signal food, danger, or potential mating partners. These experiments are largely carried out in Drosophila melanogaster, which is a simpler yet very powerful model system that still displays a large repertoire of chemosensory behaviors through a nervous system that is less complex than most vertebrates. Dr. Vosshall's lab is also performing research on host-seeking behavior in the malaria mosquito, Anopheles gambiae as well as engaging in genetic studies of specific anosmias in humans.
