David Safadi

David is a PhD Candidate in the Adams’ laboratory at the University of Wollongong Node. His project will involve investigating the structure and function of the GABA(B) receptor upon the binding of analgesic peptides. David first became fascinated about structure-function relationships in protein – particularly from a drug-design standpoint – during his undergraduate at the University of Wollongong, where he majored in medicinal chemistry. Outside of research, he enjoys discovering new music, playing sports, and video games. David will be working in Prof David Adams’ group.
