Bilsky laboratory co-authors publication in 'Journal of Medicinal Chemistry'

Members of the laboratory of Edward Bilsky, vice president for research and scholarship, director of the Center for Excellence in the Neurosciences and professor of pharmacology, along with long-time collaborators at the University of Arizona, recently published an article titled “Can Amphipathic Helices Influence the CNS Antinociceptive Activity of Glycopeptides Related to β-Endorphin?” in the Journal of Medicinal Chemistry.

Co-authors include two UNE alums: Lindsay St. Louis (Neuroscience ‘13), who is currently working on her master’s degree in Pain Research, Education and Policy at Tufts University, and Denise Giuvelis (Medical Biology ‘08), laboratory manager and senior research scientist in the Bilsky laboratory and co-coordinator of UNE’s behavioral neuroscience core.

The study extends the researchers’ previous work in understanding the chemistry and pharmacology of endogenous opioid peptides and how they interact with membranes and receptors.
