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.
