Overview

Collaborative work by Dr. Bryan Roth and Dr. Brian Shoichet focuses on illuminating the druggable GPCR-ome by two-pronged approach of empirical screening of drugs followed by computational screening against modeled structures of the GPCR to produced optimized lead compounds. Their work has led to discovery of molecule “ogerin” binding previously orphaned, GPR68.
