Dr. Pinto's research focuses on understanding the effects of aging on sinonasal sensory disorders and the various genetic, environmental, and social contexts that modulate susceptibility to these conditions. He employs tools from fields such as demography, genetic epidemiology, genomics, and public health sociology to drive forward his research goals. His work is primarily funded by the National Institute on Aging and the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, leading to significant projects such as studying the epidemiology of presbyosmia (age-related olfactory decline). Dr. Pinto has published on various aspects of olfactory function and decline due to aging and has engaged in gene association studies for identifying variations that influence olfactory loss. He collaborates with experts across institutions on projects concerning chronic rhinosinusitis and the microbiome's role in upper airway physiological changes. Additionally, he conducts clinical trials targeting translational research on allergic and non-allergic rhinitis and chronic sinusitis.
