Konuşmacı Bilgileri

My fascination with the GPCR superfamily began with my graduate training in Prof. Brian Volkman’s lab at the Medical College of Wisconsin (MCW). My thesis combined NMR with conventional biochemical and biophysical methods to rationally-design therapeutic leads targeting chemokines and their receptor. We developed novel protein-therapies, resulting in three patents, and tested them in myocardial infarction/reperfusion injury, melanoma, and colorectal cancer animal models.
