Enlightening taste

Leveraging the light-based tools we have developed and continuously innovating, we explore how taste information is processed from the tongue to the brain, influencing our feeding behavior. We take a multifaceted approach including in vivo imaging, genetically-encoded biosensors, deep learning-based analysis, and behavioral assays.
