Listeners gain insights into how membrane microdomains modulate GPCR activity, the translational impact

, and confronting the true-negatives problem that quietly breaks so many published models. True negatives quietly wreck biological models. Most published models rely on inferred negatives — genes or molecules assumed inactive by convenience , the model's predictions changed radically. 37:01 Reading GPCR signaling dynamics with computational models 39:53 Generative models, scoring functions

Crauwels emphasizes the critical role of well-annotated experimental data for training predictive models Her work integrates bioinformatics, protein modeling, and experimental collaboration to support GPCR can significantly improve computational models. “Garbage in, garbage out—computational models depend entirely on the quality of experimental data.” the models.

At UCSF, he develops structural models of GPCRs using sparse experimental data - combining restraints His fluency in both bench and computational languages shapes how he builds models and how he interprets Rather than a setback, it became a forced pivot into computation at precisely the moment his modeling Bench experience as a modeling guardrail Knowing what an EC50 means experimentally, or what a Bmax implies Bender credits his time at the bench with preventing the kind of over-interpretation that models built

Antonella Di Pizio on building computational models for GPCRs with almost no crystal structures and almost TAARs look more classical than most chemosensory GPCRs — and that matters for modeling. The drug candidate was never designed as a bitter receptor ligand; the receptor was identified post-hoc out for mutagenesis, fold the experimental results back into the model, rebuild. Collaborators are not recipients of finished predictions — they are partners embedded in the modeling

Her team at InterAx models receptor signaling pathways as systems of time-dependent equations, then runs kinetic assays to refine the models and extract ten to fifteen pharmacological parameters from what Model first, pipette second. InterAx treats GPCR pharmacology the way engineers treat aircraft design: build the mathematical model signaling pathways first, then use controlled kinetic assays as the "wind tunnel" that refines the model

the University of Illinois at Chicago has spent years pulling apart that asymmetry — combining mouse models Her research integrates behavioral pharmacology, ligand-directed signaling, and mouse models of migraine appear to relieve the same symptoms — pain, negative affect, and aura-related signs in preclinical models Her next career step took her to AstraZeneca as a postdoctoral trainee, where she studied animal models Andrew Charles that who specialized in animal models of migraine and delta-opioid receptors as a therapeutic

strategies to express, reconstitute and assay engineered GPCRs using the visual pigment rhodopsin as a model that stemmed from this work, such as the concept of “functional micro-domains” and the “helix movement model Tom’s lab also pioneered the early use of computational homology modeling, molecular dynamics simulations

Terry Hebert explains why studying GPCRs in HEK293 cells misses critical biology — and how iPSC-derived models cell type, and is now deploying them in iPSC-derived cardiomyocytes and patient-specific stem cell models failure of a biased agonist exposed the cost of oversimplifying that signaling landscape. iPSC-Derived Models biosensors revealing cell-type-dependent outputs 10:54 Building the toolkit — biosensors, iPSC-derived models
