Richard L. Doty is a professor of psychology and otorhinolaryngology at the University of Pennsylvania. He has also been the director of the University of Pennsylvania's Smell and Taste Center since 1980.

Doty is considered a world-renowned researcher in the field of olfactory functioning and dysfunction (anosmia). He is a pioneer in the development and validation of practical quantitative tests of olfaction, including the University of Pennsylvania Smell Identification Test (UPSIT).

Career

Doty received his Bachelor of Science degree from Colorado State University in 1966. He was awarded a Master of Arts in experimental psychology with an emphasis in psychophysics from California State University San Jose in conjunction with NASA’s Ames Research Center in 1968. Doty earned his Ph.D. in Comparative Psychology and Zoology from Michigan State University in 1971.

He was a postdoctoral research fellow at the University of California, Berkeley from 1971 to 1973 in the field of behavioral endocrinology and was advised by Dr. Frank Beach. At the Monell Chemical Senses Center in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, he was a Postdoctoral Fellow from 1973-1974 and then Director of the Human Olfaction Section from 1974-1978.

Doty created the University of Pennsylvania Smell Identification Test (UPSIT).

Doty has published over 400 papers in peer-reviewed journals related to olfactory and gustatory function, and is the editor or author of nine books, including Handbook of Olfaction and Gustation, Neurology of Olfaction with Christopher Hawkes, and The Great Pheromone Myth, among others.
