	Elliott M. Ross Greer Garson and E.E. Fogelson Distinguished Chair in Medical Research Professor, Department of Pharmacology Graduate Programs in Molecular Biophysics and Cell Regulation Ph.D., Biochemistry, Cornell University B.Sc., Biochemistry, University of California, Davis Faculty Profile Curriculum Vitae Teaching Activities Some thoughts on science Elliott.Ross@utsouthwestern.edu
	Finly Philip Postdoctoral Fellow Ph.D., Biophysics, SUNY at Stony Brook Finly.Philip@utsouthwestern.edu I am using engineered fluorescent phospholipase C (PLC) biosensors to study putative conformational changes in PLC-β1 upon activation and to determine the dynamics of G protein regulation of PLC. I am also interested in using these biosensors to study the mechanisms that regulate activation and deactivation of PLC-β1 and Gα_q both in cells and in vitro, and how these mechanisms relate to regulation of PLC-β's and Gβγ.
	Seungwoo Chang Graduate Student, Molecular Biophysics B.S., Pharmaceutical Sciences, Seoul National University M.S., Biology, Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology Seungwoo.Chang@utsouthwestern.edu Seungwoo is studying conformational isomerization of M1 muscarinic cholinergic receptors and its regulation by agonists and G_q using fluorescent conformational reporter constructs, which he has engineered.
	Ganesh Kadamur Graduate Student B.S., Indian Institute of Technology, Madras gkadam@mednet.swmed.edu Ganesh is interested in understanding the mechanisms of inhibition of GAP activity by Gβγ using mutational analysis and related biophysical approaches. Life in lab apart, he is interested in the outdoors and is an avid photographer, and is known for his ability to keep talking for very long.
