Summary
G protein-coupled receptors are specialised proteins on the surface of cells. They are the targets of 30% of currently available pharmaceuticals. This proposal will examine exciting and novel properties of these proteins that only occur following their assembly into specialised networks in cells. The use of cutting-edge technology will allow us to understand the role of these networks in many diseases. The new information will expand our current knowledge, and facilitate targeted drug design.

Summary
Pregnancy complications still causes the death of mothers, and their babies. During this fellowship, we will be developing new treatments and clinical tests for three important complications of pregnancy. We will run clinical trials of a new medication based treatment to cure ectopic pregnancies. We will also develop a blood test that can identify those babies still in the womb but suffering dangerously low oxygen levels. Lastly, we will develop drugs to treat preeclampsia, a serious condition o ....Pregnancy complications still causes the death of mothers, and their babies.
