- Guest Website The Dando Taste Physiology Lab

Guest Bio
The bulk of Robin Dando's training prior to joining Cornell has been in Physics, Physiology and Neuroscience.
He works on the basic interactions between your body and the food you consume, and how this shapes your preference. The mammalian taste system consists of many complex events which take a simple receptor activation at the taste bud, to a rich and emotional response such as that elicited by our favorite foods.
As yet little is known about the true nature or depth of these interactions. Dando's lab uses state of the art biological techniques to elucidate the nature of some of these processes, and how they can in turn be swayed by factors such as our body's physiology, an illness, or even by our mood. - Length (mins) 10
