This internationally acclaimed centre groups together researchers, engineers and technicians who are all members of the CNRS (French National Center for Scientific Research), the INRA (National Institute for Agricultural Research) or the University of Burgundy. It has a multidisciplinary approach: brain science, molecular biology, genetics, neurophysiology, nutrition physiology and behavioural studies. The centre has a dual mission, namely to do in-depth research on taste science as well as studies in the same field applicable to the food-processing industry through a special laboratory dedicated to sensory and sensometric analysis.
