Current Studies

The Nutritional Neuropharmacology Lab is currently conducting the following studies: 

• Molecular & Physiological Characterization of Novel, Genetically-Engineered GHSR Mice
• Preclinical Drug Discovery of Biased and Allosteric GHSR Ligands
• Identification and biochemical characterization of naturally occurring variants in metabolic and nutrient-sensitive GPCRs
• Bidirectional Effects of Ghrelin and Dopamine Receptors on Biased Signaling & Food Reward
