Pharmacology and Drug Discovery University of Nottingham

Overview

This Pharmacology and Drug Discovery  MRes programme from the University of Nottingham is bespoke to you, however, here are some examples of the research we already conduct within the Pharmacology and Drug Discovery fields.

Key Facts

• Understanding the genetic basis of Alzheimer's disease
• Molecular Pharmacology and Cell Biology of Cell Surface Receptors: molecular pharmacology, regulation and signalling of G-protein-coupled receptors and tyrosine kinase-linked receptors.
• 'Cross-Talk' Between Different Intracellular Pathways: synergistic interactions between G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs); interactions between GPCRs and tyrosine kinase receptors; cross-cascade signalling of proteins involved in gene transcription.
• Single molecule analysis of ligand-receptor interactions using fluorescence correlation spectroscopy: research on the development of fluorescent ligands for GPCRs.
• Use of bimolecular fluorescence complementation to investigate protein-protein interactions: investigation of receptor trafficking and receptor-effector interactions
