Caroline Gorvin is a Wellcome Trust & Royal Society Sir Henry Dale Fellow at the Institute of Metabolism and Systems Research, University of Birmingham. She obtained her PhD in 2012 from the University of Oxford, where her research focussed on the cellular mechanisms by which mutations in a chloride-proton antiporter cause the renal disorder Dent’s disease. Caroline continued in Oxford undertaking postdoctoral research investigating the signalling and trafficking of the G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR), calcium-sensing receptor, and its role in calcium homeostasis. Caroline moved to the University of Birmingham in 2018 to establish her research group investigating metabolic GPCRs. Her current research focusses on how metabolic GPCRs cross-talk and interact to regulate appetite and bone metabolism.
