Big news! My K99 application has been awarded 🥳🎉

I'm excited to work together with @zenbrainest.bsky.social and @MarkZylka to explore how distinct peripheral neuron types shape pain representation in the brain.

I am glad to share our recent work, now published in Cell! A @zenbrainest.bsky.social and Scherrer lab collaboration developing and validating a new peripherally restricted DREADD system! Great team work with Hye Jin Kang, Brian Krumm, @adrtas.bsky.social, and others

Structure-guided design of a peripherally restricted chemogenetic system
Kang et al. present HCAD, a peripherally restricted DREADD based on HCA2, with a chemical actuator that avoids crossing the blood-brain barrier and selectively reduces pain in mice. This system will enable the study of peripheral physiology without affecting the central nervous system.
