The speakerswill focus on two or a few recent advances in basic research thathave potential applications. The speakers will explain the basicscience background behind their examples for an audience thatcannot be expert in all relevant areas. The audience will includeindustry scientists and policy makers as well as basic scientistsand students new to the field, interested in applications of basicresearch. The symposium will conclude with a round-tablediscussion with audience participation. Our goal is to explorehow collaborations between industry and academic scientistscan benefit both, but particularly how basic-science expertisecan contribute.1:00 pm Introduction: Taste and Smell in TranslationMichael Meredith.
