The McIntyre Lab is part of the Department of Neuroscience and the University Center for Smell and Taste at the University of Florida College of Medicine.  We study the cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying olfactory function. The lab is interested in mechanisms to treat the loss of the sense of smell (anosmia) and how odor information is modulated in the olfactory bulb. We use employ a wide variety of techniques including gene therapy, confocal microscopy, calcium imaging, electrophysiology, molecular and cell biology, and transgenic mouse models.
