Venkatesh N. Murthy
Raymond Leo Erikson Life Sciences Professor of Molecular and Cellular Biology
Paul J. Finnegan Family Director, Center for Brain Science
The Murthy group studies the physical, neural and algorithmic basis of olfaction using real-time techniques including psychophysics, physiology, optical microscopy and computation. The mouse is the main model system, but the group is beginning to explore this sense in ants and humans.
