Peter Nonso Nwokoye
MD Student with Scholarly Concentration in Bioengineering, expected graduation Spring 2027
BioPeter Nonso Nwokoye was born and raised in Nigeria and graduated summa cum laude with dual Bachelor of Science degrees in Chemistry and Biology from Barry University. During his undergraduate studies, he worked on the synthesis of selective muscarinic receptor agonists and antagonists. In 2021, he was awarded the prestigious Gates Cambridge Scholarship to study at King's College, University of Cambridge. There, under the mentorship of Professor Anthony Davenport, he researched the expression and signaling of the apelin receptor and its endogenous agonists, Elabela and Apelin, in glioblastoma stem cells. This experience sparked his interest in developing novel methods to deorphanize orphan Class A GPCRs. After several months of intensive computational research, Peter developed a complex, multi-layered bioinformatic tool that he has used to identify likely endogenous ligands of orphan GPCRs, focusing on peptide ligands found in annotated uncharacterized open reading frames in the human genome. In his free time, he enjoys soccer, running, meditating, and teaching. Peter is excited about pursuing a career as a physician-scientist.
