Biography

Simon Lind is a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Gothenburg, specializing in G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) and their downstream signaling cascades. He earned his PhD focusing on innate immunity and the activation patterns of GPCRs expressed in human neutrophils. His research has led to the identification of novel concepts regarding GPCR activation and new allosteric modulation properties, showcasing biased ligands. Lind's interest in bridging the gap between receptor signaling and structural biology has prompted him to join Linda Johansson's lab, where he aims to gain expertise in GPCR structural biology. His work on profiling HCAR1 signaling has revealed crucial insights into Gαi/o and Gαs activation and β-arrestin recruitment. Lind has co-authored various publications in esteemed journals, contributing to the understanding of signaling mechanisms in neutrophils and exploring allosteric receptor modulation.
