Debbie Hay
December 28, 2016
After 18 years at the University of Auckland, Debbie moved to the University of Otago in 2020. Research in the Hay laboratory focuses on G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs). These proteins are the cellular targets of natural hormones and are some of the most important drug targets. Her research aims to contribute to the development of medicines to treat migraine, among other conditions. Debbie is passionate about raising the profile of migraine in New Zealand and improving the lives of patients who have this condition. Work in the lab spans a range of areas with local and international collaborators in academia and industry, including: pharmacology, medicinal chemistry, peptide chemistry, structural biology, molecular biology, immunohistochemistry and culture of cell lines and primary cells....

Professor Michael E. Benros, MD, PhD is head of research on Biological and Precision Psychiatry at the Copenhagen Research Centre for Mental Health, Mental Health Centre Copenhagen, Copenhagen University Hospital. He is recognized internationally for his ongoing involvement in clinical and epidemiological research into mental health, being at the forefront of the emerging field of ImmunoPsychiatry and has helped advancing the field through several landmark papers highlighting the association between immune-related factors and mental illness utilizing Danish nationwide registers and biobanks. His group’s meta-analysis has amongst other highlighted the potential treatment effects of immune modulating drugs for depression and psychotic disorders. He now leads a sizable effort to disentangle the role of the immune system in the development of severe...
