Project description
G-protein coupled receptors are important sites of action for many pharmacalogically active drugs. In this project, we wish to evaluate the effects of purines and cannabinoids, with cell migration as a functional read-out. To this end, we will generate transient and stable cell systems for the screening of a wide panel of (potential) ligands. This functional information (cell migration) will be coupled to biochemical information (receptor activation).
