Research Group: Taste & Odor Systems Reception

The aim of the Taste & Odor System Reception research group (focus: effector-receptor interaction in heterologous expression systems) is to elucidate the mechanisms of action of food-relevant taste and odor substances on chemosensory receptors in the sensory cells. In addition to primary taste and odor substances, their degradation and conversion products as well as endogenous metabolites and metabolites of the microbiome are also taken into account.
