  • From GPCR Data Chaos to Decisive Action

    Is Your GPCR Program Slowing Down—Even With Good Data? You’re not alone. Most teams don’t stall because the science is weak. They stall because the data becomes a mess. I call it the Lego Bucket Problem : You’ve got CRO output, internal assay data, maybe even some promising signals. But there’s no blueprint. No structure. No clear path to your next milestone. Meetings drag. Decisions stall. And momentum quietly dies. The Hidden Cost of Good Science Without Systems I’ve seen this pattern again and again—across academia, biotech, and through close work with dozens of teams inside the Dr. GPCR Ecosystem. Strong science. Promising data. But no systems to turn it into momentum. Data arrives too fast and too fragmented CROs deliver output without clear integration Teams chase the wrong assays, too late to pivot Milestones slip—and nobody realizes until it’s too late Failing fast? Not possible when nothing’s built to surface the right  insights early. That’s Why I Built Yamina’s Consulting Corner This is not “advising.” This is embedded consulting for biotech and VC teams who need to move fast —without compromising scientific integrity. Unlike traditional advisors, I'm not just observing; I'm part of your team . This allows me to experience your challenges firsthand, identify roadblocks faster , and i mplement solutions from within , ensuring genuine buy-in and lasting momentum. Here’s what I bring: Biology-First Strategy I’ve designed GPCR assays, led collaborations across research environments, and translated complex data into action. I know how to ask the right scientific questions—and when to shift from analysis to execution. Systems That Drive Execution No more disconnected slides and 6-week meeting cycles. I install simple tools that surface insights, align your team, and keep momentum moving. True Embedded Partnership I review CRO scopes, flag risks early, and sit in on your strategic calls. I’m not watching from the sidelines—I’m driving with you. Real-Time Global Insight As founder of Dr. GPCR, I’m connected to 1,300+ scientists and decision-makers worldwide. That network gives me a constant pulse on what’s working—and what’s next. Who I Work With ✅ Biotech Teams  – Especially those lacking in-house GPCR leads or overwhelmed by CRO data chaos. ✅ Venture Capital Firms  – Looking to accelerate, troubleshoot, or validate GPCR assets in their portfolio. ✅ Contract Research Organizations (CROs)  – Wanting to better align with biotech clients and deliver real  insight, not just data. My Consulting Philosophy Every successful GPCR program is a blend of scientific excellence  and operational precision . One without the other will quietly kill your momentum. My work is rooted in: ✔️ Scientific Integrity ✔️ Operational Discipline ✔️ Collaborative Partnership Let’s Get Your GPCR Program Moving Again Whether you’re building from scratch or recovering from a stall, I’ll help you move faster—with fewer blind spots, tighter execution, and a clear line of sight to your next key decision. 🚀 Book your free 30-minute strategy call Let’s unlock the momentum your GPCR program needs. 👉 https://calendly.com/drgpcr/yamina-corner Or explore how we can work together: 👉 Yamina.org 🔑 Key Takeaways ✅ Even strong science stalls without operational structure ✅ Scattered data = missed insights = wasted time ✅ You can’t fail fas t if you can’t see the problems early ✅ Most teams don’t need more data— they need clarity ✅ Yamina’s Corner helps teams move from data chaos to decisive action ✅ This is hands-on support —not passive advising p.s: Still unsure if this is the right fit?

  • Irreversible Drugs, Real Control: Design for Durable Target Engagement

    Molecular innovation This Week’s GPCR Intelligence: 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; Domain Therapeutics patents new PAR2 antagonists. 🔍 This Week in Dr. GPCR Premium: Sneak Peek Industry insights:  Confo VLAIO grant; Skye CB1 Ph2 miss; Chugai CT-388 in-license; Septerna valuation. Upcoming events:  Membrane-mimetic screening; GPCR Forum 2025; GPCR-TDD Summit Europe. Career opportunities:  Sr. Scientist—In-vitro Pharm; Postdoc roles. Must-read publications:  AT1R β-arrestin bias; UII receptor structure; β2AR constant-pH dynamics. Terry's Corner – Control Target Engagement—Don’t Chase It with Irreversible Drugs When binding outlives exposure, everything changes. This feature frames how to define “irreversible” in real systems, anticipate PK/PD separation, and use target turnover to tune duration. You’ll see why tight binding can backfire on tissue penetration, where k_inact/K_I beats classic Ki, and how to quantify what matters—speed of inactivation and durability of effect. If your team is designing covalent or tight-binding candidates, these principles reduce surprises and accelerate dose optimization. You’ll avoid costly missteps by: Preventing kinetic traps —spot PK/PD decoupling early so washouts and C_max don’t mislead dosing strategy. Designing for penetration —balance on/off rates to reach inner tissue, not just peripheries. Quantifying what counts —prioritize k_inact and k_inact/K_I to compare irreversible inhibitors realistically. 🎥  Live AMA with Dr. Kenakin — October 30, 12 PM EST   Join Dr. Kenakin live and bring the questions that keep you thinking.
