Research Summary
My research deals with studying receptor mechanisms in taste. The idea is to use a cell-based or a cell free system to express the protein receptor. The recombinant protein will then be used to determine the steps involved in the recognition of taste stimuli. This is important for the development of modulatory compounds for the taste receptor.
