Randall Reed is a Professor Emeritus at Johns Hopkins University, specializing in the molecular biology and genetics of the mammalian olfactory system. His research focuses on understanding the mechanisms that regulate the development of the olfactory system and the processes responsible for odorant detection. The lab employs biochemical and molecular genetic techniques to investigate ongoing neurogenesis in the olfactory epithelium, exploring how stem cells proliferate in response to tissue damage and neuronal loss. Furthermore, Reed's work also examines the genetic and biochemical factors that influence the sensitivity and specificity of olfactory signal transduction. By characterizing the transcription factors involved in the expression of individual odorant receptor genes and the cellular pathways that target the specific receptor neurons, his team aims to reveal the principles of olfactory coding and perception.
