Associate Professor at USC. Structural biology and pharmacology with a focus on GPCRs. 💊 🧪 https://www.gati-lab.com https://scholar.google.com/citations?user=5t80YUAAAAAJ&hl=enhttps://bsky.app/profile/gati.bsky.socialhttps://bsky.app/profile/gati.bsky.social/post/3munxz3ga2c2nSome invitations leave you lost for words. An enormous honor to speak in the MCP Department at the Stanford School of Med, in a series featuring luminaries like Feng Zhang. And the invite came from the grad students themselves. Heading back to my old stomping grounds! @stanfordmedicine.bsky.social04 Sep 2026 03:02 +0000at://did:plc:kmmf4qc2ffnrbignk7b7qeax/app.bsky.feed.post/3munxz3ga2c2nhttps://bsky.app/profile/gati.bsky.social/post/3mq4bmec54c2tWelcome to the lab, Yijin Wang! 🎉 Yijin joins us as a Neuroscience grad student, fresh from UCLA, where she trained in systems neuroscience and stroke recovery across the Silva and Carmichael labs. She's now bringing that lens to GPCR structural pharmacology. Thrilled to have you! @dornsife.usc.edu08 Jul 2026 04:25 +0000at://did:plc:kmmf4qc2ffnrbignk7b7qeax/app.bsky.feed.post/3mq4bmec54c2thttps://bsky.app/profile/gati.bsky.social/post/3mo2q2l3qos2eExcited to be giving a seminar at Harvard Medical School's Dept. of Biological Chemistry & Molecular Pharmacology! A big thank you to Andrew Kruse for hosting,it's a privilege to share our lab's work on GPCR conformational dynamics and opioid receptor pharmacology with such an outstanding community.12 Jun 2026 02:47 +0000at://did:plc:kmmf4qc2ffnrbignk7b7qeax/app.bsky.feed.post/3mo2q2l3qos2ehttps://bsky.app/profile/gati.bsky.social/post/3mndgbv6oec2vWelcoming Dr. Jeppe Nielsen to the lab! Lundbeck Foundation-funded Postdoc, recent graduate from the University of Copenhagen, and the person who helped show the world what cocaine looks like bound to the dopamine transporter. Great to have you back! 🎉 lnkd.in/gRjxdC3r @lundbeckfonden.bsky.social02 Jun 2026 20:21 +0000at://did:plc:kmmf4qc2ffnrbignk7b7qeax/app.bsky.feed.post/3mndgbv6oec2vhttps://bsky.app/profile/gati.bsky.social/post/3mmdh3nuqks2tThat’s a wrap on #ASPET2026 in Minneapolis! Our lab attended our first ASPET meeting this year, and it did not disappoint — brilliant presentations, cutting-edge science, and one of the warmest scientific communities we’ve been part of. Safe travels to everyone heading home. See you next year!21 May 2026 03:11 +0000at://did:plc:kmmf4qc2ffnrbignk7b7qeax/app.bsky.feed.post/3mmdh3nuqks2thttps://bsky.app/profile/gati.bsky.social/post/3mlql2clm2c2wNext stop NYC! 🗽 Thrilled to present our latest work on the conformational landscape of opioid receptor activation at Weill Cornell Med Biochemistry & Biophysics. Thanks to my friend & collaborator Dr. Joshua Levitz for the invitation - can’t wait for the discussions! @weillcornell.bsky.social13 May 2026 15:01 +0000at://did:plc:kmmf4qc2ffnrbignk7b7qeax/app.bsky.feed.post/3mlql2clm2c2whttps://bsky.app/profile/gati.bsky.social/post/3mlormwjoz22gWe're sharing our nuc-BRET plasmids on Addgene! This assay measures GDP/GTP-dependent BRET signal changes as a proxy for affinities, which correlate with ligand efficacy at opioid receptor-G protein complexes. High sensitivity for low-efficacy partial agonists that slip through conventional assays. https://www.addgene.org/browse/article/28273788/12 May 2026 21:53 +0000at://did:plc:kmmf4qc2ffnrbignk7b7qeax/app.bsky.feed.post/3mlormwjoz22ghttps://bsky.app/profile/gati.bsky.social/post/3ml3hdyhgpk2tHuge day for our lab! Congrats to Aaliyah Tyson on TWO incredible milestones: the prestigious USC WiSE PhD Merit Award AND passing her qualifying exam with flying colors! She embodies the brilliance, determination, and grit that drive great science. Onward to the dissertation home stretch! 🔬05 May 2026 05:29 +0000at://did:plc:kmmf4qc2ffnrbignk7b7qeax/app.bsky.feed.post/3ml3hdyhgpk2t
