Gunnar Tiger

Gunnar Tiger is an Associate Professor at the Faculty of Medicine, Umeå University. His research focuses on pharmacological mechanisms related to the endocannabinoid system, lipid metabolism, and signal transduction pathways in the brain. He has contributed to studies on enzyme inhibition, metabolic pathways, and drug development for therapeutic applications.

Key research areas include the modulation of anandamide and related compounds, enzymatic hydrolysis processes, and the effects of ions like potassium and fluoride on cellular signaling. His work bridges biochemistry and neuroscience, with applications in understanding neurological processes and developing pharmacological interventions.

Publications highlight advancements in cannabinoid signaling, enzymatic inhibition strategies, and in vitro/in vivo models for studying metabolic pathways. Collaborative efforts with researchers like Christopher J. Fowler and Alessia Ligresti underscore his interdisciplinary approach to pharmacology and biochemistry.
