Dr. Huang, a molecular biologist, studies the molecular mechanisms that underlie taste sensation and food preferences. The focus is on identifying molecules that are involved in the recognition and transmission of taste stimuli in the oral cavity and other parts of the digestive system. This work may lead to effective treatments of taste disorders as as certain nutritional disorders.
