Prof. Aylin Hanyaloglu is a Professor in Molecular Medicine at the Department of Metabolism, Digestion and Reproduction, Faculty of Medicine, Imperial College London. She leads the G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) Signalling Group, established in 2007. Her work focuses on understanding fundamental mechanisms of GPCR signal transduction, with applications in reproductive health, metabolic disorders, and cancer. Affiliations include the Chemical Biology CDT, Centre for Translational Nutrition and Food Research, and the Membrane Receptor Network.
Education: PhD in Molecular Endocrinology (2002, University of Western Australia), Postdoctoral training at UCSF (2002–2007). Research interests span GPCR dimerization, receptor trafficking, and their roles in physiological systems like pregnancy, labor, and metabolic regulation. Major projects include studying hormone receptors in ovarian physiology, prostaglandin signaling in myometrium, and short-chain fatty acid effects on gut function.
Funded by Wellcome Trust, BBSRC, MRC, and Genesis Research Trust, her work bridges basic science and clinical translation. Key research themes include spatial control of gonadotrophin receptors, GPCR oligomerization dynamics, and targeting kisspeptin receptors for reproductive health. Collaborates widely across disciplines, from chemical biology to clinical studies. No listed students or awards, though her contributions are evident in high-impact publications.
