Personal Info
- Bio
- Arthur Christopoulos, B.Pharm., Ph.D., is Professor of Analytical Pharmacology and Dean of the Faculty of Pharmacy & Pharmaceutical Sciences, Monash University. Prior to his appointment as Dean, Prof. Christopoulos was a Senior Principal Research Fellow of the National Health and Medical Research Council of Australia. His research focuses on novel paradigms of drug action at G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs), the largest class of drug targets, and encompasses molecular and cellular pharmacology, medicinal chemistry, structural and chemical biology, mathematical and computational modeling, and animal models of disease. He has pioneered methods for detection, validation and quantification of GPCR allosteric modulators and biased agonists, been involved in the discovery of first-in-class drugs for numerous receptors, and made seminal contributions to understanding the structural and chemical basis of drug action. Prof. Christopoulos has over 320 publications, over 180 invited presentations, served on the Editorial Board of 8 international journals, consults for numerous companies, and is a Councillor of the International Union of Basic and Clinical Pharmacology (IUPHAR). He has been a recipient of the John J. Abel Award from the American Society of Pharmacology and Experimental Therapeutics, the Rand Medal from the Australasian Society of Clinical and Experimental Pharmacologists and Toxiclogists, the British Pharmacological Society (BPS) Gaddum Memorial Award, the IUPHAR Analytical Pharmacology Lecturer, the GSK Award for Research Excellence and a Doctor of Laws from the University of Athens. In 2018, he was elected a Fellow of the Australian Academy of Health and Medical Sciences, and of the BPS. Since 2014-present, Thomson Reuters/Clarivate Analytics have named him a Highly Cited Researcher (top 1% worldwide) in Pharmacology and Toxicology.
