Our pharmacology research ranges from NMR structural studies of single receptors, to the modulation of cardiovascular function in entire systems.
As a team, we have particular strengths in the molecular pharmacology of G-protein coupled receptors; intracellular trafficking of receptors and transporters; the kinetics of drug-receptor interactions; the pharmacology of the cardiovascular system; and the development of new molecular tools to probe receptor structure and function.
We use these insights to tackle a variety of drug discovery challenges, with particular emphasis on cancer, cardiovascular disease and respiratory medicine. Our findings are helping to advance treatment techniques, create new drugs and, ultimately, save lives.
We collaborate closely with colleagues in the University’s School of Pharmacy on drug discovery and development, and also have extensive collaborations with industrial partners including , , and . Funding to support our work comes from the , , and .
