Then she moved to European Molecular Biology Laboratories in Heidelberg, Germanyfor her Ph.D. In her Ph.D., Eroglu investigated the structure function relationship of metabotropic glutamate receptors which are G-protein coupled receptors. She found that these receptors directly interact with sterols within the membrane and these lipid-protein interactions regulate the affinity of mGluRs for glutamate. For her postdoctoral studies, Eroglu moved across the globe and joined the lab of Ben Barres, Ph.D., at Stanford. There she studied how astrocyte-secreted Thrombospondins promote formation of excitatory synapses via interacting with the gabapentin receptor Cacna2d-1. In 2008, Eroglu started her lab in Duke University Cell Biology department. The Eroglu lab investigates how astrocytes, and other glial cells, control the formation, maturation and refinement of synaptic circuits.\u0026nbsp;\u003Cbr \/\u003E\r\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\r\n\u003Cem\u003EThe Bioengineering Seminar Series is co-hosted by the Institute for Bioengineering and Bioscience and the Wallace H.
