This week on The Dr. GPCR Podcast, we bring you Episode 2 of our three-part series with Celtarys Research — featuring chemist Dr. Johannes Broichhagen, whose work is redefining how we image GPCRs in real tissue.


His team’s chemical probes enabled high-resolution GLP-1R visualization across systems — from pancreatic islets to in vivo two-photon imaging.


Inside the episode:

  • Chemical probes vs antibodies: specificity, stability, and live-cell performance

  • Mapping GPCR surface pools with precision

  • Tissue-level insights reshaping metabolic disease research

  • What’s next: multiplex receptor labeling + AI-designed tools


If GLP-1R biology, receptor trafficking, or advanced imaging are part of your work, this conversation belongs on your radar.
