Biased agonism and allosteric modulation at the glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor

Date: Wednesday 24 April 2024
Time: 11.00
Venue: Wolfson Education Centre, Lecture Theatre 2, Hammersmith Campus

Professor Denise Wootten 
Faculty of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences

Denise Wootten is an NHMRC Leadership Fellow, Professor in the Faculty of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences at Monash University and the Monash University node leader for the ARC Centre for Cryo-electron Microscopy of Membrane Proteins (CCeMMP). Her research is directed towards understanding drug action at G protein coupled receptors (GPCRs), in particular modes of GPCR activation, signalling and regulation, biased agonism, allosteric modulation and the interaction of receptors with regulatory accessory proteins.

Her research incorporates structural biology (cryo-EM), molecular, cellular and analytical pharmacology, computational biology, and preclinical mouse models of metabolic disease.

She has over 100 peer reviewed research publications, including in leading international journals such as Nature, Science and Cell. She is serves on the editorial board of the British Journal of Pharmacology and is a scientific advisor for Septerna Inc.

Lunch will be available in Cafe Area A (Wolfson) after the talk.
