Stanford Medicine researchers used high doses of magnetic stimulation, delivered on an accelerated timeline and targeted to individual neurocircuitry, to treat patients with severe depression.| News Center
Welcome to the lab of Professor Chris Garcia. Our laboratory is broadly interested in cell surface receptors and their ligands. Our principal goal is to exploit mechanistic and structural information on receptor-ligand interactions to interrogate and therapeutically impact human disease. We ask how ligand recognition and signaling coordinate with the physiology of the cell using protein engineering to manipulate signaling pathways in order to control cell function and fate. The receptor syste...| The Department of Molecular and Cellular Physiology
