GPCR regulation of secretion in neuroendocrine cells

  Research Group: Molecular and Cellular Biology
G protein coupled receptors (GPCRs) remain one of the key therapeutic targets for the treatment of disease, and while much is known about their pharmacology, it is increasingly clear that the signaling mechanisms used by a specific receptor to modulate cell functions is context specific. Read more

Investigation of the critical roles of platelets at the interface between thrombosis and inflammation in order to develop improved therapeutic strategies for the treatment and/or prevention of cardiovascular/inflammatory diseases

Platelets (small circulating blood cells) are involved in blood clotting to prevent excessive bleeding, however, their inappropriate activation under pathological conditions leads to thrombosis resulting in major cardiovascular diseases such as heart attack and stroke. Read more
