NIDCD has established a new research entity, the National Smell and Taste Center, which originated from the NIH-wide intramural response to the COVID-19 pandemic. The new center, co-directed by Paule Joseph (NIAAA) and Joshua Levy (NIDCD), will focus on innovative research, comprehensive clinical care, and educational outreach to better understand both the normal and disordered chemical senses of taste and smell. The center’s first symposium was held July 9 in Bethesda.
