Biography

Key Skills 

Core Funded 

  • Cell Culture: maintain cell lines, transfection, generate stable cell lines, dissection and culture of primary neurons 
  • Molecular biology technique: PCR and RT-PCR, RNA and DNA extraction, gel electrophoresis, subcloning, site-directed mutagenesis, western blotting 
  • Functional assays: 35S GTPys, cAMP, IPone, BRET assay, calcium mobilisation experiments
  • Radioligand binding: saturation and competition binding, kinetic experiments

Research interests

Within our Molecular Pharmacology group, focus is on the structure, function and regulation of G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) and their interacting proteins. A large part of my role within the group is driving forward drug discovery programmes that Professor Milligan has with industrial partners, aiming to identify novel ligands at orphan GPCRs.
