Description
The National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD), with the National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering (NIBIB), aims to support the development and/or adaptation of transformative in vivo high-resolution imaging of the human olfactory system. The goal is to improve diagnostic accuracy of olfactory disorders by leveraging advanced non-invasive/minimally invasive imaging technologies.
Key aspects of this opportunity include:
• Developing and applying new tools and technologies for imaging the olfactory system
• Collaborative investigations combining expertise in olfaction, biomedical imaging, biochemistry, bioengineering, and biophysics
• Improving understanding of the underlying biological mechanisms and etiology of olfactory disorders
• Enhancing diagnostic accuracy and treatment of olfactory disorders
