An enthusiastic researcher driven by a deep passion for scientific discovery, particularly in the realm of G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs). My research is focused on the identification and characterization (molecular and structural) of ligands targeting these crucial signaling proteins, with the ultimate goal of contributing to advancements in drug discovery. I am currently working on the deorphanization of GPCRs. I hold a Ph.D. in Biological Sciences and Bioengineering with expertise in GPCR biochemistry, soluble and membrane protein purification, and in vitro pharmacological characterization. During my doctoral work, I spearheaded multiple projects that elucidated the structural and molecular basis of biased signaling in chemoattractant GPCRs.
