We are delighted to welcome Dr. Chloe J. Peach as a COMPARE PI who joins as Assistant Professor in Molecular Pharmacology at the University of Nottingham. Following her PhD funded by the AJ Clark Scholarship (British Pharmacological Society) studying growth factors involved in angiogenesis, Chloe moved to the U.S.A. as a postdoctoral fellow at New York University. Funded by the Leon Levy Fellowship in Neuroscience, she explored non-opioid alternatives for the treatment of chronic pain, identifying a glycoprotein involved in transmitting growth factor-induced pain. In the Summer of 2023, she returned to the University of Nottingham to establish her own research group. Chloe has expertise exploring the spatial and temporal dynamics of receptor biology – particularly studying receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs) - using fluorescence- and luminescence-based approaches to monitor ligand binding, receptor signalling, intracellular trafficking and how receptors signal from subcellular sites. The Peach Lab is interested in how RTK biology (pharmacology) is modulated by their unique local microenvironment (cell biology) – from local glycoproteins to cytoskeleton-associated proteins. The ultimate goal is to develop better therapeutics that target RTKs beyond oncology, from chronic pain to neurodegenerative disease.
