I'm excited to share the first work from my postdoc in the von Zastrow lab! We address a fundamental question about neuromodulatory signaling: Can neurons tell the difference between multiple neuromodulatory inputs when they converge on only a few receptor pathways? www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

Temporal coding expands the bandwidth of GPCR-mediated neuromodulation
The advent of modern transcriptomic approaches has revealed a breadth of neuromodulatory G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) co-expression far exceeding what was previously thought. This raises a fundam...

Excited to share our preprint: "A Cellular Basis for Heightened Gut Sensitivity in Females." doi.org/10.1101/2025... We address the question: Why do women feel more gut pain? We found that estrogen boosts communication between L-cells and EC cells, triggering increased gut sensitivity.

Excited to share my first paper from my postdoc! In this study, we demonstrate that the mu opioid receptor produces a second wave of G protein activity on endosomes in a manner that doesn’t require receptor internalization. Check it out! www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...
