معرفی
Olav Larsen is a Research Fellow in the Department of Drug Design and Pharmacology (Pharmaceutical Informatics) at the University of Copenhagen, where he conducts advanced research in pharmacology and receptor biology. His work primarily focuses on G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs), chemokine signaling, and ligand-receptor interactions.
His research interests span:
- GPCR Pharmacology: Investigating biased signaling pathways and ligand design for Class A GPCRs.
- Chemokine Receptor Dynamics: Studying motif conservation, allosteric modulation, and peptide-derived regulation in receptors like CCR1, CCR5, and CCR7.
- Therapeutic Targeting: Exploring implications for diabetes, inflammation, and immune disorders through receptor-specific mechanisms.
Analysis of his recent publications reveals a consistent focus on structural and functional aspects of receptor-ligand interactions, with emphasis on:
- Molecular mechanisms enabling ligand discrimination in chemokine receptors
- Biased agonism in metabolic hormone receptors (GLP-1R)
- Computational and experimental approaches to receptor modeling
