    Discover the evolution of GPCR research — from single pipettes to automated platforms shaping precision, strategy, and leadership in modern science. Home → Flash News → From Pipettes to Platforms The Evolution of GPCR Research From Pipettes to Platforms: The Evolution of GPCR Research Published on November 13, 2025 Category Dr. GPCR Podcast Back when GPCR assays were performed with single channel pipettes, failure wasn’t cheap. Michelle Halls still remembers pipetting one sample at a time, holding her breath to keep the assay alive. Today, automation and high-throughput platforms make it easy to forget how fragile discovery used to be. But that history matters. It shaped how we design experiments, make decisions, and lead teams. In this week’s Dr. GPCR Podcast blog, we unpack: How the manual era shaped experimental discipline Why technology changed what we ask, not just how we ask How scientists grow from technicians to strategic leaders 🎧 Read the full story and listen to the episode: https://www.ecosystem.drgpcr.com/post/from-pipettes-to-platforms-the-evolution-of-gpcr-research 🔓 Join Dr. GPCR Premium for deeper tools and insights: https://www.ecosystem.drgpcr.com/gpcr-university-pricing #GPCR #DrGPCR #DrugDiscovery #Pharmacology #Biotech Previous Next Recent Articles

Van Meir "Dr. Erwin Van Meir is a professor in the UAB Department of Neurosurgery. He was trained in molecular biology at the Universities of Fribourg and Lausanne, Switzerland where he obtained his Ph.D. in 1989. Dr. Van Meir pursued postdoctoral work at the Ludwig Institute for Cancer Research in San Diego and joined the faculty of Emory University in 1998. His research interest lies in understanding the molecular basis for human tumor development and how to use this knowledge to devise new therapeutics that will improve patient survival. Van Meir’s research examines how genetic alterations and hypoxia induce changes in cell biology that promote tumor formation with particular emphasis on adhesion GPCRs ADGRB1 and ADGRB3. Van Meir has developed novel therapeutic approaches for cancer using oncolytic adenoviruses and anti-angiogenic molecules and is currently developing novel small molecule inhibitors of the hypoxia-inducible factor pathway and the epigenetic reader MBD2 (methyl CpG binding protein 2). His research aims to translate these novel agents to testing in clinical trials with the hope to develop novel medicines for cancer treatment." Erwin G. Van Meir on the web Google Scholar Site Specific N-Glycosylation Of The N-Terminal Fragment Of ADGRG6 Drives Proteolytic Processing, Trafficking And Signalling Pal Kasturi Abstract "ADGRG6 is a member of the adhesion G-protein-coupled receptor (aGPCR) family, known to play a role in myelination, placentation, blood vessel, and inner ear development. Like many other aGPCRs, ADGRG6 undergoes autoproteolysis at the GPCR-autoproteolysis site (GPS) enclosed within the larger GAIN domain to generate the N-terminal (NTF) and C-terminal fragments (CTF). These cleaved fragments join to form the heteromeric ADGRG6 receptor complex. ADGRG6 NTF has multiple extracellular domains like CUB, PTX, SEA, hormone binding domain, and the GAIN domain, which regulate G-protein signaling by binding to extracellular matrix proteins and mechanotransduction. The short stachel sequence at the extreme N-terminal end of the CTF functions as a tethered agonist to activate cAMP signaling. GPCR signaling and trafficking can be regulated by several different post-translational modifications (PTM). Stehlik et al. have reported that ADGRG6 expressed in lipopolysaccharide stimulated human umbilical vein endothelial cells is N-glycosylated. However, it is unclear which domains of ADGRG6 are N-glycosylated and how this might affect the overall molecular pharmacology of the receptor. Furthermore, are there spatial roles of N-glycosylation in ADGRG6 processing, trafficking, signalling and in-vivo functions? To address these gaps in knowledge, we used biochemical and cell-biological approaches using cell-lines overexpressing wild-type and N-glycosylation mutants of ADGRG6. We observed that N-glycosylation specifically takes place in the NTF and not the CTF of ADGRG6. Our results demonstrate that specific N-glycan residues in different domains of the extracellular NTF of ADGRG6 have distinct roles in ADGRG6 autoproteolysis, furin cleavage, membrane trafficking, and G-protein signalling. In the future, we plan to decipher the roles of N-glycosylation of ADGRG6 in organogenesis and tissue development using zebrafish models."

  • Plenary Lecture | Adhesion GPCR Workshop 2024 | Dr. GPCR Ecosystem

    Full Agenda Adhesion GPCR workshop 2024 CINVESTAV, Mexico City, Mexico October 23-25 Download PDF Program HERE < Back to Full Agenda Plenary Lecture Identification and Functional Characterization of Adhesion GPCRs As Steroid Hormone Receptors and Hearing and Balance Receptors Abstract Only Available for AGPCR24 Attendees About Jin-Peng Sun "Since starting my laboratory in 2011, I has focused on G protein coupled receptors, in particular, the ligand identification, physiological functions and molecular mechanism of biased signaling of GPCRs. Our first main research aspect is the identification of endogenous ligand of GPCRs. We have identified the receptor subfamily to sense the steroid hormones. For instance, membrane receptor GPR97 is able to sense glucocorticoid to mediate its rapid actions, the progesterone and 17-hydroxyprogesterone membrane receptor are GPR126. We also identified DHEA, DHEAS and DOC are endogenous ligands of GPR64 etc (Nature, 2021a, Nat Chem Biol 2022, PNAS 2022b). Our second main research aspect is dissecting the molecular mechanism underlying sensation of force, ordor, itch and taste by GPCRs. We have elucidated the mechanism of receptors' perception of itch, olfactory and force (Nature 2021b, 2022a, 2022b, 2023a, 2024). Our third main research aspect is working mechanism of GPCR. For arrestin mediated biased signaling, we have proposed the “flute model” and “poly proline region docking theory” etc. to explain the arrestin mediated GPCR functions (Nature communications, 2015, 2021, 2022; PNAS 2021, Molecular Pharmacology, 2017; Recommended by Faculty 1000, Nature Chemical Biology 2018). We identified that arrestin can mediated AT1R/TRPC3 or M3R/TRPC3 coupling by forming a complex of AT1R/β-arrestin-1/PLCγ/TRPC3 or M3R//β-arrestin-1/TRPC3 (Nature communications, 2017, Nature communications, 2018). We also identified that orphan receptor GPR64 forms complex with β-arrestin-1 and CFTR at apical membrane of efferent ductulus to regulate the salt/water metabolism (eLife 2018, Faculty 1000 recommendation). Our fourth main research aspect is ligand coding mechanisms and structural aided drug discovery of GPCR. We have decoded the mechanisms underlying recognition of fish oil (unsaturated fatty acids) and other lipids by GPCRs (Science 2023, Science Advance 2021, PNAS 2023, Nature Metabolism 2023), recognition of amine containing hormones by GPCRs (Cell 2021, 2023, Nature 2023b), bile acids or its derivatives by GPCRs (Nature 2020)."

  • GPCR Retreat | Dr. GPCR Ecosystem

    Discover the essence of GPCR Retreat, an international GPCR Event that empowers the GPCR field. Retreat 2023 About Program Registration Logo Contest Committee Sponsors GPCR Retreat The GPCR Retreat focuses on advances in our understanding of how GPCRs operate in cell communication. The main goal of the GPCR Retreat is to provide a venue for students, post-doctoral fellows, and principal investigators from academia and industry to discuss and debate existing and novel concepts in GPCR biology. One of the core values of this international meeting is to promote interactions among all participants of all diversity backgrounds, particularly between trainees and principal investigators. Each year, approximately 2/3 of the participants are trainees. Registration to the GPCR Retreat is capped at 200 participants to promote an intimate environment. Most importantly, the GPCR Retreat dedicates time for two trainee symposia, an initiative that began in the Ottawa 2017 edition, to showcase the breadth of diversity in GPCR trainee communities. For the Ottawa 2017 GPCR Retreat, of the ten talks from trainees 80% were from women and 60% from visible minorities. Over the years, the meeting has grown into one of the most recognized international events in the field. That reputation has led to broad participation from the Great Lakes region and beyond. Conference History The GPCR Retreat is an annual joint meeting with the Club des récepteurs à Sept Domaines Transmembranaires du Québec that rotates around locations in Canada and the United States surrounding the Great Lakes region. The first Great Lakes GPCR Retreat was conceived, organized and held in London, Ontario, Canada in October 1999. The following year, the Great Lakes GPCR Retreat partnered with the annual symposium of the Club des Récepteurs à Sept Domains Transmembranaires du Québec . The meeting tours through many of the major universities in the Great Lakes region in both Canada and the United States. The past few GPCR retreats have been held in : Niagara-on-the-lake (2022) Bromont, Québec (2019) Detroit, Michigan (2018) Ottawa, Ontario (2017) Chicago, Illinois (2016) Toronto, Ontario (2015) Bromont, Québec (2014) Cleveland, Ohio (2013) London, Ontario (2012)

  • Scientific careers are not just built on brilliance | Dr. GPCR Ecosystem

    Michelle Halls reminds us of something every scientist eventually learns: hard work is essential, but noticing the unexpected often defines your biggest breakthroughs. Home → Flash News → Scientific careers are not just built on brilliance Scientific careers aren’t just built on brilliance Published on November 14, 2025 Category Dr.GPCR Podcast Scientific careers aren’t just built on brilliance—they’re shaped by curiosity, timing, and paying close attention. In this conversation, Michelle Halls reminds us of something every scientist eventually learns: hard work is essential, but noticing the unexpected often defines your biggest breakthroughs. She also names a truth we rarely acknowledge out loud—luck and timing matter. Many talented scientists leave the field not because they lacked skill, but because the right opportunity didn’t land at the right time. And that’s why attention to detail, persistence, and a bit of serendipity can change the trajectory of a research career. 🎧 Watch this moment — then catch the full episode: https://www.ecosystem.drgpcr.com/dr-gpcr-podcast/leadership-luck-and-gpcr-signaling #GPCR #DrGPCR Previous Next Recent Articles
