Insights That Move the GPCR Field Forward

Dr. Jens Carlsson reveals how predictive modeling is reshaping GPCR drug discovery—bridging computation, chemistry, and pharmacology for real-world impact.

The next edge in discovery isn’t louder exposure—it’s smarter engagement. This week’s Dr. Kenakin from Terry's Corner shows how to tame irreversible drugs so their kinetic power works for you, not against you. You’ll get a framework to predict duration, penetration, and PK/PD separation—so decisions move faster and risks surface earlier. Breakthroughs this week: nanomedicines targeting PAR2 for sustained analgesia; Emerging Voices in GPCR Biology;

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.
