Shailesh Mistry

Shailesh Mistry is an Associate Professor of Medicinal Chemistry in the School of Pharmacy at the University of Nottingham. He has a PhD in Pharmacy (Medicinal Chemistry, University of Nottingham, 2009) and extensive experience working on a broad range of small molecule chemical biology and drug discovery projects predominantly targeting G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs). In particular his group have a focus on developing small molecule (including peptide) orthosteric and allosteric fluorescent ligands. Previous/current targets of interest include angiotensin (II) receptors (AT1/2), beta-adrenoceptors (beta-1/2/3), typical and atypical chemokine receptors (CXCR1/2, ACKR3), dopamine receptors (D2/3), histamine receptors (H1), opioid receptors (mu, nociception), prostaniod (EP2/4), serotonin receptors (5HT2A), trace-amine associated receptors (TAAR1).
