Pharmacology moves fast. Adaptive thinking—not just tools—keeps you in the game. Join Terry’s Corner for real-world insights from Terry Kenakin. Home → Flash News → ama session sept 18 post 3 “Technologies come and go. If that’s all you know, you’ll be out of the game fast.” Published on October 30, 2025 Category Terry's Corner “Technologies come and go. If that’s all you know, you’ll be out of the game fast.” In our AMA, Terry Kenakin shared timeless career advice for young pharmacologists navigating a fast-changing field: “Try to keep a finger on the pulse of as much as you can… that was one of the main reasons for doing Terry’s Corner. New ideas come up, and if we can encapsulate them and expose them, you can just hit a button, hear about it, and pursue it.” To stay relevant in the next decade, it’s not about chasing the latest assay or tool. It’s about building adaptive thinking—knowing where the field is moving and being ready to pivot with it. That’s what Terry’s Corner was built for: a space to turn decades of industry experience into short, targeted insights that keep you ahead of the curve. 🟢 Join Terry’s Corner → https://www.ecosystem.drgpcr.com/terry-corner ✳️ Next AMA Session: ⚠️ Today, Oct 30 | 12–1 PM EST #GPCR #DrGPCR #Pharmacology #DrugDiscovery #CareerDevelopment #Biotech #Mentorship #EarlyDiscovery #ScientificLeadership Previous Next Recent Articles

Discover what 40+ years of pharmacology reveal. Terry’s Corner AMA distills advanced GPCR insights into clear, practical frameworks for drug discovery. Home → Flash News → ama session sept 18 post 2 What happens when 40+ years of discovery experience get distilled into one conversation? Published on October 29, 2025 Category Terry's Corner What happens when 40+ years of discovery experience get distilled into one conversation? That’s exactly what our first-ever AMA session with Terry Kenakin set out to do. Terry’s Corner was built to make advanced pharmacology practical: a space where scientists don’t just learn passively—they shape the curriculum and bring their toughest questions forward. As Terry shared during the AMA: “This is a labor of love. Pharmacologists are almost always working in systems they don’t fully understand. The more we can see, the better choices we make.” Through live Q&A, targeted modules, and short, focused lessons, Terry’s Corner gives discovery teams the frameworks to: Decode complex GPCR signaling. Rethink outdated models. Translate early data into better decisions. This is more than another course. It’s an open vault of knowledge. 🟢 Read More → https://www.ecosystem.drgpcr.com/post/accelerating-gpcr-drug-discovery-what-40-years-of-pharmacology-reveal ✳️ Next AMA Session: October 30 | 12–1 PM EST #GPCR #DrGPCR #Pharmacology #DrugDiscovery #AllostericModulation #Kinetics #AssayDevelopment #EarlyDiscovery #PharmaR&D #BiotechInnovation Previous Next Recent Articles

Much of this work centered on elucidating novel mechanisms by which β-adrenergic receptors impact cardiac structure and function, and has evolved to encompass their roles in regulating immune cell response to acute cardiac injury or chronic stress. Additionally, the lab has begun to investigate potential roles for previously unrecognized cardiac-expressed GPCRs in the regulation of physiologic/pathologic function in the heart in an effort to uncover novel therapeutic directions for HF, including adhesion GPCRs (AGPCRs). In all, research in the Tilley lab spans molecular pharmacology to pathophysiology studies focused primarily in the cardiovascular realm."

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)."

Full Agenda Adhesion GPCR workshop 2024 CINVESTAV, Mexico City, Mexico October 23-25 Download PDF Program HERE < Back to Full Agenda Session IX / Technology capsule: Light on aGPCR signaling and function NovoiSMART - A new platform for GPCR antibody drug discovery Abstract Developing monoclonal antibody drugs against GPCRs and other multi-pass transmembrane targets, such as ion channels, remains a significant challenge. Novoprotein developed a NovoiSMART technology, utilizing mRNA-based immunization, which can overcome these obstacles by producing high-quality antibodies that more accurately mimic natural protein structures. This approach contrasts with other antigen forms like peptides or DNA, which face limitations in structural integrity and immunogenicity. mRNA technology, demonstrated in the success of COVID-19 vaccines, is emerging as a promising method for antibody discovery. Several case studies of GPCR and other multi-pass transmembrane targets are presented, including GPRC5D, Claudin 6 and Napi2b. These studies show that mRNA immunization yields higher antibody titers and greater epitope diversity compared to other methods. These examples underscore the potential of NovoiSMART technology in developing highly specific antibodies for complex targets, with implications for overcoming challenges like drug resistance and tumor escape.
