Host: Henrik Dohlman
Dr. Gracia-Marcos studies heterotrimeric G proteins with a focus on a group of cytoplasmic factors that mimic the action of GPCRs by directly activating heterotrimeric G proteins. These non-receptor activators “rewire” signal transduction in different pathological settings, including cancer. The Garcia-Marcos lab has developed and published several innovative tools to specifically target GPCRs and its associated signaling effectors.
“We investigate signal transduction mechanisms with the ultimate goal of elucidating the molecular basis of human diseases and developing novel therapeutic approaches.”
