#31 with Dr. Kevin Pfleger

Dr. GPCR Podcast

Dr. Pfleger trained as a pharmacologist and obtained his Ph.D. at the University of Edinburgh. I sat down with Kevin to chat about GPCRs, pharmacology, and his contributions to the field in both the academic and biotech worlds.

Professor Pfleger has developed extensive expertise in profiling receptor binding and function at the molecular and cellular levels over the last 20 years, particularly involving GPCRs. He also has globally-recognized expertise in bioluminescence resonance energy transfer (BRET) technology, including his patented Receptor-Heteromer Investigation Technology (Receptor-HIT) for studying heteromers.

Kevin is also Director, Biomedical Innovation at The University of Western Australia (UWA) and the MTPConnect Western Australian Life Sciences Innovation Hub. He is Head of Molecular Endocrinology and Pharmacology at the UWA Centre for Medical Research and Harry Perkins Institute of Medical Research, Deputy Director of the Australian Research Council Centre for Personalised Therapeutics Technologies, Chief Scientific Advisor to Dimerix, and co-founder of RAGE Biotech.

He currently serves on the Board of the Australasian Society of Clinical and Experimental Pharmacologists and Toxicologists and is a member of the British Pharmacological Society International Advisory Group.

Join me and learn more about Kevin’s work and how he manages all his responsibilities.
