Noam Sobel. Weizmann University

Olfaction in human subjects and in machines (electronic noses) is the subject that interests Noam Sobel, the head of the Olfaction Research Group in the Department of Neurobiology at the Weizmann Institute of Science in Israel. A pioneer in the field of human olfaction and psychophysics, his research covers a wide range of topics, from the mechanisms of odour representation in the peripheral olfactory system to the effects of odour inhalation on the physiology and health of humans.
