The Association for Olfaction Research (AOR) serves as a hub for high-quality scientific publications and valuable resources in the field of olfaction and sensory science. We actively promote open-access sharing of knowledge, support member publications, and curate essential tools, databases, and learning materials to accelerate research and education across the 5S domains.
Featured Publications
AOR members regularly publish groundbreaking research in leading international journals. Recent highlights include:
- Integrative motif conservation, entropy, and hotspot analysis of Transmembrane Architecture in Human Olfactory Receptors — Nidhi et al., Wiley Protein Science (Cover Article)
- Various studies on AI-driven olfactory modeling, sensor development, and translational applications of chemosensory science.
We encourage and support our members to publish their work in reputed SCI-indexed journals. Selected member publications are featured on this page and shared widely through our network.
