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/...

Endocytosis sculpts distinct cAMP signal transduction by endogenously coexpressed GPCRs Many G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) trigger a second phase of G protein-dependent signaling from internal membranes after agonist-induced endocytosis. However, individual GPCRs differ significant...

New preprint! Here, we explore how endocytosis encodes receptor-specific cAMP/PKA signaling downstream of three endogenously coexpressed GPCRs. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Outdoor Adventure Couple: Jenny and Damon — Melanin Base Camp Jenny recalled. “We spent so much time together in the car, talking for hours. It was a great way to connect.” Damon agreed, adding, “Outdoor trips gave us a chance to bond in ways that everyday life ...

First post on 🦋! I had to honor to be featured in this article with Damon about our relationship with each other and with the outdoors! Happy Valentines ❤️ #Diversity #diversifyoutdoors
