Research Outline
G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) consist of approximately 900 members in the human genome and play crucial roles in various physiological and pathological processes. In this project, I plan to perform a comprehensive screening for GPCRs that respond to disease-related metabolites and try to identify targets. Results from this project will help us understand molecular basis of diseases and contribute to development of new drugs targeting GPCRs.
