Jochen Schwenk, PhD, a distinguished researcher and professor in Translational Proteomics at the KTH Royal Institute of Technology is at the forefront of groundbreaking research on G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs). GPCRs are a vast and diverse family of cell surface receptors that are integral to cell signaling. These receptors, characterized by their seven transmembrane helices, play a pivotal role in transmitting signals from extracellular ligands to intracellular pathways.
The work of Schwenk and his team is crucial in understanding the complex mechanisms of GPCRs, which are involved in a wide array of physiological processes. Their research holds significant implications for the development of new therapeutic strategies targeting these essential receptors.
