NSTC is dedicated to advancing understanding of the chemical senses (smell and taste) and related disorders through comprehensive research, patient care, and education. NSTC was formed through collaborations among several NIH research laboratories and clinics to address the need to expand work in smell and taste research—a need that captured national attention during the COVID-19 pandemic. NSTC’s mission is to improve the health and quality of life of individuals affected by these sensory disorders. More information about NSTC can be found on the NIDCD website.
