A fantastic collaboration with Dr. Christa Müller from the University of Bonn. Congratulations to graduate students Franka Westermann and Adam Oken for their efforts on this manuscript.
Our latest work on the human P2X2 receptor. We identified an alternate desensitized state conformation that provides insight into how ATP enters and/or leaves the pocket.

The KCVI research retreat was a great success this year.

Very happy to participate. Looking forward to making this an annual event!
A true Physician-Scientist and @OHSUSOM #MDPhD alum, Dr. Steve Mansoor, sharing details about how his lab uses #DrugDesign principles to fit the ligand into the target receptor like a jigsaw piece. 🧩Thank you for your presentation Dr. Mansoor! @OHSUNews @OHSUCardio @OHSUSOM
