Amanullah Amanullah obtained his PhD in Molecular and Cell Biology at Nanjing Normal University, China. His doctoral research focused on the conservation and functional diversity of galanin and its receptors across vertebrates, alongside galanin's therapeutic potential in mitigating murine colitis. Amanullah's research interests centre on G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) within the peptide hormone family, which play a crucial role in sensing extracellular stimuli and initiating intracellular signalling pathways that govern mammalian growth and development.
