Rate My Professor Angela Finch

Associate Professor Angela Finch is an academic in the Faculty of Medicine & Health, School of Biomedical Sciences at the University of New South Wales (UNSW), where she serves as Director of Teaching. Her main academic specialty is molecular pharmacology, with research focused on G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs), particularly adrenoceptor allosteric modulators, subtype-selective antagonists, and orphan receptors. She has published extensively in leading journals, including "Orphan receptor GPR37L1 remains unliganded" in Nature Chemical Biology (2021), "Orphan GPR146: an alternative therapeutic pathway to achieve cholesterol homeostasis?" in Trends in Endocrinology and Metabolism (2022), and "Gene expression analyses of TAS1R taste receptors relevant to the treatment of cardiometabolic disease" in Chemical Senses (2023). Other significant contributions include "Transgenic α1A-adrenergic activation limits post-infarct ventricular remodeling and dysfunction and improves survival" in Cardiovascular Research (2006), the book chapter "Ligand binding, activation and agonist trafficking" in The Adrenergic Receptors in the 21st Century (2005), and co-editing the School of Medical Sciences Honours Course Manual (2011, 2012).
