Name
Dr. Terry Kenakin
Title
Professor of Pharmacology & Pharmacology, University of North Carolina School of Medicine, Chapel Hill
Bio
Dr. Kenakin trained in chemistry and pharmacology at the University of Alberta and completed postdoctoral work at University College London in the laboratory of Sir James Black. He spent 25 years in drug discovery at Glaxo (now GlaxoSmithKline) before joining UNC Chapel Hill, where he teaches and leads research in receptor pharmacology.
His work is central to the quantitative framework used today to describe receptor signaling bias, allosteric function, and agonism. He proposed one of the first mechanistic explanations of biased signaling and co-authored the widely-applied simple method for quantifying functional selectivity. He is the author of A Pharmacology Primer, Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of Receptors and Signal Transduction, and a Fellow of the British Pharmacological Society, recognized with the Goodman and Gilman Award from ASPET and the Gaddum Memorial Award.
