Dr. GPCR began as a podcast. Now, it's a global ecosystem of scientists, biotech teams, CRO leaders, and trainees working to move GPCR science forward—together.


We created this space to make trusted knowledge and collaborations easier to access—without noise, fluff, or hype.

What We Believe

The Ecosystem was built with five key beliefs:

Scientific rigor first

This is a space for data-driven work, not hype.

Usefulness over flash

Every piece of content and feature must be practical.

Transparency builds trust

We're open about who we are and what we do.

Collaboration is key

Progress in GPCR science requires a collective effort.

Inclusion matters

We welcome diverse voices, experiences, and expertise.

We designed the Ecosystem to support your work
—no matter where you are in your GPCR journey.

Our Journey (So Far)

From the first podcast episode to a global platform, it's all built by and for the GPCR community.

The Field Is Growing—but Fragmented

As GPCR scientists, we know the problem: too much noise, too little time, and nowhere to connect that's built for us.


We built Dr. GPCR to:

  • Curate relevant data—not overwhelm you with it

  • Connect researchers with CROs, peers, and biotech leaders

  • Provide high-quality tools and expert insights on demand


Whether you're in a lab, launching a startup, or prepping for due diligence, we built this for you.


The GPCR Challenge

Scientists waste an average of 12 hours per week searching for relevant GPCR research and connections. Our ecosystem cuts that time by 80%.
