SYMPOSIUM 

Human Axillae: Why? 

Chair/Organizer: K. Rankin & C. Christensen 


This IFF sponsored mini-symposium examines the sources and functions of volatile 

compounds produced in the human axillae. Because the products of axillary glands are 

commonly labeled as malodorous and an industry has grown up around neutralizing this 

malodor, symposium speakers will discuss the concept of malodor and the strategies 

employed by the fragrance industry and sensory scientists to reduce or eliminate 

malodor.

For 2007, the NIH Workshop will feature a discussion of funding opportunities at the 

NIDCD for students, postdoctoral fellows, and newly independent investigators in the 

first hour, followed by a discussion of the changing policies and procedures in the era 

of the new electronic NIH. The latter discussion will be of interest to all individuals 

who plan to seek research or training support from the NIH.

INDUSTRY SYMPOSIUM - Recent advances in taste and flavor 

Chair/Organizer: M. Meredith 


After last year’s success, there will be again a platform for industry, policy makers as 

well as academic scientists and graduate students to discuss applications and knowledge 

gleaned from industry and basic science. 

This session consists of short talks by four experts in taste research followed by a round 

table discussion with audience participation. The talks focus on new findings in taste 

research that may have implications for industry research and development, presented 

at a level accessible to the knowledgeable non-expert.

SYMPOSIUM 

Gastrointestinal chemosensation 

Chair/Organizer: S. Damak & R. Margolskee 


This is a newly arising field that is based on the observation that elements of the taste 

transduction pathway are present in the gastrointestinal tract and in specialized 

enteroendocrine cells. The questions addressed by this symposium are what role these 

chemosensory signaling elements play in appetite regulation, specific satieties, gut 

motility and glucose homeostasis.

WORKSHOP 

Odor signaling in humans 

Chair/Organizer: T. Jacob 


Candidate compounds for human signaling molecules present in human secretions 

have been proposed to signal identity, emotion, gender and reproductive state. The 

intention of this workshop is to review and discuss the current state of the field. There 

is still much controversy about the whole issue of human pheromones and 

disagreement about the behavioral consequences of exposure to these compounds.

WORKSHOP 




In studying the genetics of chemosensory perception, tools such as bioinformatics 

analysis, comparative genomics, and gene expression shed light on the evolution of the 

chemical senses and species-specific selective pressures that shaped the repertoire of 

chemosensory receptor genes. This workshop will discuss these types of analysis and 

its usefulness in inferring the function of orphan receptors and identifying novel protein 

structure domains.

SYMPOSIUM 

Parallel processing by multiple olfactory subsystems 

Chair/Organizer: M. Ma 


In addition to the two major chemosensory systems (main olfactory epithelium and 

vomeronasal organ), there are reports of several subtypes of chemosensory neurons 

or epithelial cells using distinct signal transduction cascades. This symposium will 

focus on these newly reported olfactory subsystems.
