Signalosomes and compartmentalisation in cellular homeostasis and disease [ 2014 - 2019 ]

Research Grant

Researchers: Dr Michelle Halls (Principal investigator)

Brief description G protein-coupled receptors are specialised proteins on the surface of cells. They are the targets of 30% of currently available pharmaceuticals. This proposal will examine exciting and novel properties of these proteins that only occur following their assembly into specialised networks in cells. The use of cutting-edge technology will allow us to understand the role of these networks in many diseases. The new information will expand our current knowledge, and facilitate targeted drug design.
