Charles Zuker, Ph.D., Professor of Biological Sciences and Neurobiology, and Howard Hughes Investigator at the University of California, San Diego. Dr. Zuker has deepened our understanding of vision, taste, and other sensory processes by his incisive use of genetics. He recently opened new vistas in taste transduction by cloning the G-protein linked receptors for sweet, bitter and umami tastants and demonstrating their functional activity in a cellular system.
Dr. Zuker is a founder of Senomyx. He joined the Senomyx Scientific Advisory Board in July 1999. |
