GPCR Webinar Series
Accelerating GPCR drug discovery
In this webinar series, we showcase our comprehensive portfolio of G-protein coupled receptor (GPCR) assay solutions. From basic pharmacology to trends in ligand bias/functional selectivity, and case studies in arrestin and second messenger signaling, this series has something for everyone.
Learn about creating your own GPCR assays here: Do-It-Yourself Webinars.
Webinars will continue to be added to this series, so please check back often.
