We advocate for funding for research on smell and taste disorders, including but not limited to anosmia, hyposmia, parosmia, ageusia, hypogeusia, dysgeusia and phantogeusia.
We collaborate with individuals living with these chemosensory disorders, healthcare professionals, and institutions to provide evidence-based education, resources, and networking opportunities.
We partner with organizations around the world who are aligned with our vision to broaden our outreach and increase awareness of the impact of these invisible health conditions.
