From Venice to Munich, follow the story of Alessandro Nicoli, a PhD student whose path into science was anything but linear. In this episode, he shares how a love of chemistry, the guidance of key mentors, and a leap into computational modeling led him to tackle one of biology’s greatest puzzles: olfactory GPCRs. Discover how AlphaFold, molecular dynamics, and curiosity-driven research are reshaping the way we study G protein-coupled receptors.
