Gareth Sanger

Nationality	British
Known for	Research on 5-HT3 receptor
Awards	Pharmacology Award

Gareth Sanger is a British pharmacologist known for his pioneering research on the 5-HT3 receptor, a type of serotonin receptor that plays a crucial role in the gastrointestinal tract and central nervous system.

Education[edit]

Gareth Sanger completed his education at the University of London, where he developed a strong foundation in pharmacology and related biomedical sciences.

Career[edit]

Sanger has worked extensively at St George's, University of London, where he has contributed significantly to the understanding of the 5-HT3 receptor and its implications in gastroenterology and neuropharmacology. His research has been instrumental in the development of antiemetic drugs used to treat nausea and vomiting associated with chemotherapy.

Research[edit]

Gareth Sanger's research focuses on the role of the 5-HT3 receptor in the gastrointestinal tract and its potential as a target for therapeutic intervention. His work has led to the development of several 5-HT3 receptor antagonists, which are now widely used in clinical practice.

Awards and Recognition[edit]

Sanger has received numerous awards for his contributions to pharmacology, including the prestigious Pharmacology Award. His work is highly regarded in the scientific community, and he continues to be an active researcher and educator.
