Well done to Greg for a great presentation of our work on GLP-1R and GCGR signalling at membrane contact sites at the #EMGPCRs2024 meeting today in Birmingham

Thanks for joining us at #EMGPCRs2024! Over 2 days, we've seen invaluable insights and meaningful discussions exploring recent advances for new discoveries and therapeutic solutions. What were your key takeaways? 👇

Our data does indeed indicate that ER - mitochondria contact sites are very important for GLP-1R responses, hence we very much predict a role for these sites in type 2 diabetes and obesity

This commentary argues that achieving gender equality in academia is an urgent imperative that cannot be ignored, nor can it be expected to happen naturally over time.

Very happy to share our latest preprint: Molecular mapping and functional validation of GLP-1R cholesterol binding sites in pancreatic beta cells biorxiv.org/content/10.110… Thanks to our collaborators Sebastian Barg, Ben Jones - special mention to Sarah Rouse and Jorge Bernardino de la Serna

Our paper on the confounding effects of mini-G co-expression on GPCR trafficking and intracellular signalling is now out in Science Signaling. Thanks to everyone involved, especially Yusman Manchanda and the other PhD and MSc students who have contributed to the study Metabolism, Digestion & Reproduction
