Genevieve Bell, PhD obtained her associate's & bachelor's in Psychology and her Masters & PhD in biology and Neuroscience respectively. Throughout her educational journey, Dr.Bell clearly outlined her priorities and used them to construct her plans for the future. While obtaining her Master's, she researched metabolic hormones in a molecular biophysics lab which acted as a stepping stone for her to secure a new role at the Monell Chemical Science Center, the leader in taste & smell research facilities. Dr.Bell's research revolved around taste bud organoids and how they impact the experience of taste. Shortly before the end of her research grant, Dr.Bell took a bite at a visiting professor role at the Center College in Kentucky where she now teaches undergraduate behavioral neuroscience classes.
