Research Interest
Our lab’s previous work found that our compound was biased agonist against certain G protein coupled receptor (GPCR). However, it remains unknown that why it is biased agonist. Therefore, the main objective of my research is to reveal the G protein biased agonism for GPCRs and propose novel biased agonist by analyzing the crystal structure of GPCR-compound complex collaborating with Dr. Iwata Lab (Kyoto University graduate school of medicine). My research will improve development of ideal therapeutic drags targeting GPCRs.
