Episode 166 of the Dr. GPCR Podcast features Benjamin Clements, a postdoctoral fellow at the University of Michigan, who brings fresh insight into the therapeutic promise of GPCRs — particularly in the context of opioid pharmacology. With a background in pharmaceutical sciences and neuroscience, Ben now focuses on positive allosteric modulators (PAMs) targeting the mu-opioid receptor, aiming to preserve opioid analgesia while reducing harmful side effects like respiratory depression and addiction.In this episode, Ben and Dr. Yamina Berchiche discuss how a passion for translational science led him to investigate chronic pain models, including neuromas, where opioids traditionally fail. His lab’s preliminary findings — including a tenfold improvement in methadone efficacy — highlight the potential of GPCR-targeted allosteric modulators to change the treatment landscape for intractable pain conditions. These discoveries are the result of collaborative, curiosity-driven science in a lab culture that values both rigor and levity.Ben also shares his perspective on learning “old-school” assays like radioligand binding and GTPγS, emphasizing their enduring value even amid advanced high-throughput techniques. The conversation touches on mentorship, imposter syndrome, and the critical importance of creating space for new voices in the GPCR field. As Ben puts it:“Academia is all about knowing when to walk and when to run.”This episode is a powerful reminder of the role that early-career scientists play in shaping the future of GPCR drug discovery — blending pharmacological fundamentals with bold experimentation and a deep commitment to patient-centered science.Watch the complete episode at: https://www.ecosystem.drgpcr.com/dr-gpcr-podcast/ep-166-with-ben-clements
