Kyla Bourque
MSc student |
I pursued my
undergraduate studies at McGill University where I
graduated in January 2016 with a BSc in Pharmacology and
Therapeutics.
Upon completion, I began my training as a
graduate student Terry’s lab and my work focuses on the
membrane-spanning β2-adrenergic receptor, one
of the most studied G protein-coupled receptors.
My project uses bioluminescence resonance energy
transfer (BRET) to investigate conformational states
upon receptor activation in living cells. My aim is to
understand how receptor conformation correlates with
distinct signalling events associated with the multiple
intracellular pathways engaged by the receptor.
