Dr. Khaled Abdelrahman: Decoding the Intricacies of GPCR Signaling in neurodegenerative diseases

DMCBH Room 3402 2215 Wesbrook Mall, Vancouver

Our research focuses on the intricate role of specific G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) in the pathophysiology of neurodegenerative diseases. A key aspect of our focus is unraveling the sex-specific regulation of GPCR signaling in these conditions. Through exploring these intricacies, we aim to illuminate novel therapeutic avenues and enhance our understanding of the complex interplay […]

Dr. Mike Hildebrand: Bridging the translational divide: Development of human spinal cord assays for investigating molecular mechanisms and treatments for pain

DMCBH Room 3402 2215 Wesbrook Mall, Vancouver

Summary: In this talk, Dr. Hildebrand will highlight his recent work aimed at bridging the translational divide between rodent preclinical work on spinal pain processing and new treatment approaches for humans. His team has developed new human spinal cord tissue models of pain signaling that parallel rodent in vivo and ex vivo pain models. Using […]
