Dr. Terry Hebert wanted to be a microbiologist. Instead, he ended up getting interested in membrane protein as he followed the biology of a bacterial toxin that affects a mammalian ion channel. Today he and his team are working on understanding receptor signaling in specialized cellular environments to gain a better grasp of receptor function in pathophysiological settings with a special interest in the cardiovascular system. His favorite GPCR is the angiotensin 1 receptor especially for its ability to activate a large variety of signaling pathways. Terry is also very active on social media. With over 2000 followers on Facebook and Twitter, he shares the latest available information on GPCR research daily.
