A YEAR IN REVIEW
A YEAR IN REVIEW
The chemical senses – smell, taste, and internal chemoreception – connect us all to one another and to the world we live in. The theme of Monell’s 2023-2024 annual report, and indeed, our achievements, is Connections. It has been a year of growth and teamwork translating Monell’s fundamental research into advances in world health.
EDUCATION
We teamed up with Macgillivray Freeman Films, with generous support from the Ambrose Monell Foundation, to bring forth the IMAX feature film Super Human Body: World of Medical Marvels and related educational content.
As a result of this collaboration, educators, learners, and our partners and supporters around the world now have access to ten short videos about the science of taste, smell, and related senses and a 30-minute overview of research across the Monell Chemical Senses Center.

The immersive summer experience provides talented high school and undergraduate students, particularly those groups traditionally underrepresented in the sciences, the space, resources and training to conduct an independent research project. The deadline to join MSAP in 2025 has passed. Applicants will hear back by April 1.
Encompassing postdoctoral fellows, visiting scientists, high school and undergrad students, training is a way of life here.
Monell’s academic collaborative network is extensive, bringing added strength and expertise to the Center’s research mission.
We collaborate with leading international corporations from the food, beverage, fragrance, pharmaceutical, chemical, and other industries.
