GPCRNetzwerke
GPCRNetzwerke is a collaborative research network focused on G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs), a large family of membrane proteins that initiate cellular signaling in response to diverse ligands. The network brings together researchers from biology, chemistry, pharmacology, structural biology, bioinformatics, and clinical science to advance understanding of GPCR function and to support therapeutic discovery. It coordinates activities across universities, research institutes, and industry partners, providing shared resources and data infrastructure to foster collaboration.
Core research areas include mapping GPCR signaling pathways, characterizing receptor pharmacology, and developing ligands with selective
Organization is coordinated by a steering committee and thematic working groups in biology, structure, chemistry, data
Outputs include peer-reviewed publications, open datasets, shared protocols, drug discovery resources, and reference datasets for GPCR
Impact: The network aims to accelerate understanding of GPCR biology and the discovery of new therapeutics
