Paul Wright

Paul Wright is a Principal Scientist at the LifeArc Centre for Therapeutics Discovery, based in Stevenage, UK. Paul specializes in the development of cell-based assays to study ion channels and GPCRs and has a particular interest in using new screening technologies and quantitative pharmacology to identify ligands for novel or previously 'undrugged' targets. Most recently this work has focused on identifying and developing molecules to help advance potential therapeutics targeting two-pore domain potassium (K2P) channels. Paul is also part of the LifeArc Neuroscience disease area leadership team. Paul completed a PhD in Neuroscience at the Institute of Psychiatry, King’s College London and post-doctoral training at the University of Massachusetts Medical school and Harvard Medical School.
