Lindsay St. Louis and Denise Giuvelis co-author publication in ‘Journal of Medicinal Chemistry’

Two UNE alums, Lindsay St. Louis (Neuroscience ‘13) and Denise Giuvelis (Medical Biology ‘08) collaborated with Edward Bilsky, vice president for research and scholarship, director of the Center for Excellence in the Neurosciences, and professor of pharmacology, as well as researchers at the University of Arizona, to publish an article in theJournal of Medicinal Chemistry.

The article, titled ““Can Amphipathic Helices Influence the CNS Antinociceptive Activity of Glycopeptides Related to β-Endorphin?” extends the group’s previous research in understanding the chemistry and pharmacology of endogenous opioid peptides and how they interact with membranes and receptors.

St. Louis is currently working on her master’s degree in Pain Research, Education and Policy at Tufts University, while Giuvelis serves as laboratory manager and senior research scientist in the Bilsky laboratory and co-coordinator of UNE’s behavioral neuroscience core.
