Joshua Levitz has developed new approaches to study G protein-coupled receptors, a type of receptor found in cell membranes. He created a method to manipulate the activity of these receptors with synthetic chemical photo-switches. Levitz's work will affect the study of brain circuitry, including circuits involved in depression, and our understanding of the molecular basis of G protein-coupled receptor signaling. For these accomplishments, Levitz received the Nemko Prize in Cellular or Molecular Neuroscience in 2015. Here, he discusses his research and other topics.
