Monell Chemical Senses Center
The Monell Center is an independent nonprofit basic research institute. Founded in 1968, Monell‘s mission is to improve health and well-being by advancing the scientific understanding of taste, smell, and related senses, where our discoveries lead to improving nutritional health, diagnosing and treating disease, addressing smell and taste loss, and digitizing chemosensory data.
GCCR: Global Consortium for Chemosensory Research
In response to anecdotal reports of the loss of smell and of taste in people who have tested positive for COVID-19, a group of international smell and taste researchers united to study how, when and why this is happening and what it can tell about the Coronavirus.
SmellTaste
SmellTaste is the charity for all those living with impaired smell and taste. We are working to transform understanding of the vital contribution that these undervalued senses make to our quality of life, health and wellbeing, and ensure that people impacted by these sensory impairments get the recognition, support and care they need.
We provide support and information to those affected and their families. We work to improve recognition and knowledge amongst professionals, public and policymakers through education, training and campaigning. We support research to improve understanding and accelerate the steps to treatments and potential cures. We actively involve people living with impaired smell and taste in our work and empower them to advocate for themselves and for others.
Established in 2012 as Fifth Sense, we adopted the name SmellTaste in 2025 to give the charity a clearer identity and help improve the visibility of our work.
