"Our Genes and Our Sense of Taste."


Dr. Drayna’s lecture presents the results of his research on the substantial differences in taste perception that exist between individuals, with a focus on identifying genetic variations that contribute to these differences. His studies have revealed previously unrecognized aspects of human taste perception that may facilitate the discovery of worldwide patterns of genetic diversity which affect taste perception and food choices.
