Background
Many of our most serious and intractable health problems—including obesity, type 2 diabetes, hypertension, heart disease, and cancer—are linked to what we choose to eat and drink. What we choose to eat and drink is driven largely by the sensory properties of food: taste, smell, and texture. As molecular tools in model organisms become increasingly sophisticated, how can this new information be translated to testable hypotheses to the betterment of human health?
Objectives
- Understand both the hedonic pathways linked to tasting and sensing of food.
- Understand the physiological roles of chemosensory receptors and how these taste and smell sensors are involved in nutrition.
