Overview

Visit our lab website for additional information.

Certain ligands can selectively activate some of the multiple cellular responses downstream of G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs), an enormous family of membrane proteins that is also the single largest class of drug targets. The Wingler lab seeks to understand the molecular mechanisms of how these ligands differentially modulate GPCR signaling. To accomplish this, the laboratory utilizes multidisciplinary approaches, including biochemistry, biophysics, pharmacology, cell biology and protein engineering. Ultimately, this work could inspire strategies to develop therapeutics for GPCRs that have greater specificity of action.
