Research summary
AI-generated

Mythily Srinivasan studies the biology of the mouth and salivary glands, focusing on how immune responses, viral infections, and nerve signaling affect taste. A major recent focus is understanding why some people lose or distort their sense of taste after COVID-19 (long-COVID dysgeusia), including analyzing salivary cells and taste-related proteins. Other work examines inflammation-related signaling pathways relevant to conditions like Alzheimer's disease and periodontitis.

Collaborators per year
Distinct co-authors at Indiana University each year — a rough indication of whether the group around this researcher has been growing or contracting. An estimate from co-authorship, not a roster: collaborators are not necessarily lab members, and recent years can be under-counted while indexing catches up.
