With our increasing appreciation of the true complexity of diseases and pathophysiologies, it is clear that this knowledge needs to inform the future development of pharmacotherapeutics. For many disorders, the disease mechanism itself is... more
Video of my talk at MIT, Center for Bits and Atoms (Andreas Mershin's lab), 9 December 2015: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ej45lyl3rzA Research on olfaction is on the rise. The discovery of the olfactory receptor genes by Linda Buck... more
Retinal Pigment Epithelial cells (RPE) express both GPR143 and myocilin, which interact in a signal transduction-dependent manner. In heterologous systems, activation of GPR143 with ligand causes transient recruitment of myocilin to... more
Genomics and proteomics discovery is leading to the identification of all proteins and to the opportunity, and challenge, to reveal the protein recognition networks that drive virtually all biological processes. Over the past decade,... more
Neurobiology studies mechanisms of cell signalling. A key question is how cells recognise specific signals. In this context, olfaction has become an important experimental system over the past 25 years. The olfactory system responds to an... more
DNA fingerprinting by pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) 1 is the methodology used by the PulseNet International network for worldwide surveillance of foodborne diseases [1]. Success relies on the participants' adherence to... more
Many G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) models have been built over the years. The release of the structure of bovine rhodopsin in August 2000 enabled us to analyze models built before that period to learn more about the models we build... more
The glutamatergic pathway has been consistently involved in the physiopathology of depressive disorder. However a complete dissection and integration of its role in the context of other known mechanisms is lacking. We summarized and... more
The human recombinant Interferon-alpha(2a) (IFNalpha(2a)) is a potent drug (Roferon-A) to treat various types of cancer and viral diseases including Hepatitis B/C infections. To improve the pharmacological properties of the drug, a new... more
