The Monell Chemical Senses Center was founded in 1968 as the world’s first nonprofit scientific institute devoted exclusively to basic research on the chemical senses: taste, smell, and chemosensory irritation.  Research at Monell contributes to a wide range of scientific and practical knowledge.  With more than fifty Ph.D.-level scientists, the Center is making major progress toward understanding how the chemical senses function and their importance in everyday life.  Ongoing chemosensory studies extend from investigating receptor mechanisms to evaluating the role of the chemical senses in human health and disease.  The Center is located in the University City area of Philadelphia and maintains a clinical research facility at Thomas Jefferson University Hospital in Center City Philadelphia.  For more information on Monell please visit our website at www.monell.org
