This award funds research to investigate the role of the aGPCR ADGRD1 in orofacial neuropathic pain, aiming to develop novel therapeutics targeting this receptor for pain treatment.
Description
The project focuses on exploring the role of Adhesion G-Protein Coupled-Receptors (aGPCRs), specifically ADGRD1, in neuropathic pain. It involves molecular biology, immunohistochemistry, peptide pharmacology, and toxin conjugate development to identify new therapeutic targets for pain management.
