dopamine receptor complementation assay resonance energy transfer assays (BRET/FRET) G protein-coupled receptors (GPCR) single cell microscopy dimer
 
Project description

In this project we will develop a screening technology based on complementation assays to study in detail the capacity of GPCRs to form dimers. This approach will give us the opportunity to study dimer localization via single cell microscopy.
