From m/z to Gabg: Accessing the Collective Wisdom in Proteomics to Reveal Posttranslational Governors of G Protein Signaling
The talk will focus on the development of protein bioinformatic and computational tools that revealed how Gg subunits – through phosphorylation of their intrinsically disordered N-termini – can serve as governors of Gbg signaling.

- Univ of Pittsburgh
GPCR Structures Reveal New Insights into Receptor Pharmacology and Drug Development
Based on our crystal and cryo-EM structures of a group of chemotactic GPCRs that can promote either the onset or the resolution of inflammation with diverse ligands, I will talk about novel mechanisms of GPCR ligand recognition and activation and discuss new opportunities in drug development for inflammation-related disorders.
