Description:

Core to accelerate scientific discovery in G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) physiology and pharmacology. Provides services to identify signal transduction processes that are specific to their GPCR of interest (such as opioid, cannabinoid and muscarinic) that is either natively present or expressed heterologously in cell systems. Assists investigators with drug development studies. Support researchers with assay development and optimization, pilot data, and grant assistance. Houses instrumentation used.
