  • Research Focus
    9/21/21

    Dr. Medler studies the physiology of signal transduction pathways and the regulation of these pathways in neuronal systems. Her focus is on peripheral sensory systems, primarily the taste system. The long term goal of her lab is to understand how signaling mechanisms are regulated within taste cells and how this regulation impacts the generation of the stimulus signal to the brain.
