September 2018 - Monell Newsletter: Transforming Tomorrow
- Dealing with Telltale Malodors. Pamela Dalton hopes to educate physicians and patients about how odors – especially malodors, like those associated with incontinence – can affect emotions, explaining, “Understanding is the first step in providing improved care.”
- Sensing a Stronger Voice. As a speech pathologist, postdoctoral fellow Carolyn Novaleski wants to better understand how odors and irritants can trigger vocal cord dysfunction and associated breathing difficulties.
- 2018 Kare Fellowship. Sunil Sukumaran has been named the 2018-2020 Morley R. Kare Research Associate. Sukumaran’s research advances understanding of how different taste cells function.
- Meet the Postdocs: Part 2. Training the next generation of scientists is a vital part of our work. Two current postdoctoral fellows describe their research, their quests to improve human health, and what they do in their (gasp!) free time.
- Lee O’Neill: Monell’s new CFO. Lee O’Neill, MBA, joined the Center in May. He brings an impressive track record of strategic insight with him. O’Neill succeeds John K.T. Tran, MS, CRA, who retired in June after serving 30 years as Monell’s Finance Director.
- Identifying Treatments for Taste and Smell Disorders Conference. Monell, UF Center for Smell and Taste, and Rocky Mountain Taste and Smell Center will bring together scientists, clinicians, and patients at a ground-breaking conference this November in Philadelphia.
