Understanding structure and function of G-protein-coupled receptors
Research activity per year
My research employs multi-disciplinary approaches combining molecular pharmacology, biophysical analysis and peptide chemistry to study ligand binding and signalling activity of G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs). My research focus is on family A and B receptors and receptor activity-modifying proteins (RAMPs) that are known to play crucial roles in human health and disease.
Techniques employed in my research group are mammalian cell culture, recombinant GPCR expression, solubilisation and purification using detergents, SMA and SMA-like copolymers, cell signalling assays and fluorescence/bioluminescence resonance energy transfer (FRET/BRET) based assays to study macromolecular interactions.
