"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.
