'Molecular glues' and 'bumpers' offer new hope for precision medicines
New research led by the University of Minnesota Medical School demonstrates that molecules acting as "molecular bumpers" and "molecular glues" can rewire G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) signaling, turning the cell's busiest receptors into precision tools—opening the door to a new generation of safer, smarter medicines.

Nature research paper: Designing allosteric modulators to change GPCR G protein subtype selectivity

Designing allosteric modulators to change GPCR G protein subtype selectivity - Nature
Studies of the G-protein-coupled receptor NTSR1 show that the G protein selectivity of this receptor can be modified by small molecules, enabling the design of drugs that work by switching receptor subtype preference.

Excited to share that my co–first author paper has been accepted in
@nature.com
🎉 We show that small molecules binding at the GPCR-transducer interface can predictably switch G protein selectivity - paving the way for structure-guided, pathway-selective drug design.

Our 28-yr U-RISE/MARC NIH grant that has served over 500 students and made us one of the top institutions producing African American students who go on to receive MD/PhDs in the United States was just cancelled yesterday. What a unnecessary and tragic end to such an impactful program...
