Dear MIP & NSP Colleagues (Faculty, Academic Staff &
Graduate Students):
Dr. Steve Roper, Professor of Physiology, Biophysics and Neuroscience at
the Medical School of the University of Miami, Florida, will present
the C. Ladd Prosser Lecture, this afternoon (Friday April 12, at 4
pm) in Room B102 --Auditorium of the Chemical & Life Sciences
Laboratory -- building (South Goodwin Ave).
The lecture is entitled "From Proteins to Perceptions:
Bridging the Gap between Molecular and Cellular Approaches in
Taste." Dr. Roper has done pioneering work in mechanisms of
chemoreception and chemoperception using both comparative and mammalian
systems and employing a variety of molecular, cellular and integrative
approaches.
A reception will follow the lecture in the atrium of CLSL.
Thanks in advance for your participation-
Essie Meisami

Abstract of Dr. Roper's lecture:
"Tremendous
strides have been taken recently in the molecular biology of taste.
As a result, a number of G protein-coupled taste receptors, downstream
effectors, and ion channels for taste transduction have been
identified. However, physiological studies are sometimes at odds
with molecular biological findings. For example, molecular
biological investigations suggest that taste cells express only one class
of taste receptors such as bitter receptors or sweet receptors, but not
both. However, functional studies show that many taste cells
respond to multiple classes of taste chemicals. This and other
discrepancies remain unreconciled. My laboratory has
devised a new method that promises to overcome many problems in recording
physiological signals in taste cells. Our goal is to use this
technique to bridge the gap between physiological and molecular
biological studies and provide a more complete picture of taste
transduction mechanisms."
