About COMPARE and management team
The Centre of Membrane Proteins And Receptors (COMPARE) is a unique signature research centre of the Universities of Birmingham and Nottingham, started in August 2016 with a joint £10m strategic investment.
Co-directed by Professor Davide Calebiro (UoB) and Professor Jeanette Woolard (UoN), COMPARE brings together experts in receptor signalling, chemistry, pharmacology, advanced imaging and computer science with the overarching aim to elucidate the fundamental mechanisms of cell communication in physiology and disease to inform the development of innovative therapies for diseases such as diabetes, cardiovascular disorders or cancer.
Research within COMPARE focuses on the three largest families of membrane receptors: G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs), tyrosine kinase receptors (RTKs) and tyrosine kinase-linked (TKLRs) receptors.
