Monell Chemical Senses Center
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Monell Chemical Senses Center is an independent institute, established in 1968, dedicated to research on the senses of taste, smell, and chemosensory irritation. The instutite is operated as a non-profit and receives funding through grants, foundations and corporate sponsorships. It is located in Philadelphia's University City neighborhood, adjacent to the campuses of University of Pennsylvania and Drexel University.
The sweet protein monellin was named after the institute, where it was first isolated in 1972.
