Thank you for your interest in the Applying Pharmacology to Drug Discovery course with Dr. GPCR University. All spots in the course are now filled. To join our waitlist please fill out this form - https://forms.gle/xPZjX56LkEvhGv6b6 We'll let you know if any spots become available. Thank you for your understanding and enthusiasm! ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The main objective of this course is to give the registrant a good overall understanding of the unique science of pharmacology and how it can describe drug action in system-independent ways. This allows predictions of drug activity in all physiological systems, not only the system where testing is done. Techniques will be described to quantify drug activity in terms of affinity, efficacy, and allosteric function. Pharmacology is a unique discipline and is critical to drug discovery. Registrants will learn: 1. Methods to characterize the 3 major drug types. 2. What makes each drug type unique to therapeutic pharmacology? 3. Essential information needed to characterize the profile of a drug aimed at therapy. Modules: Week 1 - Fundamentals of Pharmacology Week 2 - Characterizing Agonists Week 3 - Characterizing Antagonists Week 4 - Characterizing Allosteric Modulators Registrations start on December 15th and close on February 2nd. Classes will be live from Zoom on Thursdays from 10 am to 11:30 am EST. Sessions will include a 1-hour live lecture plus 30 minutes of Q&A. Every participant will also get the chance to have a 1:1 meeting with Dr. Kenakin during the 4 weeks, scheduled according to the professor's availability. Participants who complete the course will get an online certification signed by the professor and the Dr.GPCR Team. A splendid time is guaranteed for all.

Welcome to the new and improved Dr. GPCR Ecosystem. In this mini video course, I want to walk you through our new website and show you what the ecosystem has to offer to its members.

Main objectives: - Learning how to perform advanced GPCR pharmacology data analysis in support of drug discovery and GPCR research, shown with GraphPad Prism. - Understanding the pharmacology data analysis framework we use for GPCRs. - Appreciating the practical realities, limitations, and tradeoffs of GPCR data analysis. - Learning many tips and tricks to improve your data analysis's quality, reliability, and efficiency. The participants will increase their ability to perform, understand, and communicate GPCR pharmacology data analysis to a high level, as well as expertise that can be applied in drug discovery and target research to maximize the chances of project success. The increased understanding will also be helpful for the participants in their training and education of entry-level scientists. Attendees will be provided with Prism files, Excel templates and simulators, and the PowerPoints of the workshop modules. Modules: Module 1 - Concentration-response analysis: Become a CRC super-user Module 2 - Quantifying agonist pharmacology and biased agonism Module 3 - Antagonist pharmacology and binding assay analysis Module 4 - New dimensions of activity: Allosteric modulators and kinetics Classes will be live from Zoom on Thursdays from 10 am to 12:00 pm EST. Sessions will include a one-hour live lecture plus one hour of Q&A and discussion. Every participant will also have a 1:1 meeting with Dr. Hoare during or after the four weeks, scheduled according to the professor's availability. Participants who complete the course will get an online certification signed by the professor and the Dr.GPCR Team. Pricing This course is open to individuals or teams.
