Aashish Manglik, MD, PhD

Assistant Professor

I am a physician-scientist interested in understanding how the human body senses and responds to external stimuli. My research focuses on the largest group of drug targets in the human body, the G protein coupled receptors. We aim to understand the most basic principles of these receptors in order to develop new medications that are both more effective and have decreased side effects.
