Our research projects focus on the molecular mechanism of specificity
of signal transduction of seven transmembrane receptors (GPCRs).
Our interests are divided
into two main themes:
1) How are homo- and
heterodimeric seven transmembrane receptors assembled and trafficked to
plasma membrane?
2) How members of a
particular receptor complex contribute to specificity of signaling?
We use a combination of
biochemical and molecular biology approaches with new tools such as
Bimolecular Fluorescence Complementation in combination with BRET or
FRET to study the specificify of assembly and trafficking of receptor
signaling complexes.
The laboratory is located on the 6th floor of the Sir Charles Tupper
Medical Building. |
